Posting these ideas on a BB is akin to handing ...

..the first set of revisions to any beta version.

There are other means being developed to trace physical location data from source computers.

And who is afraid of the NSA in the first place? These folks are the good guys. Unless you harbor some terror laden anti-American agenda, you got nothing to worry about.

Think of the NSA data identification as akin to cell-phone triangulation for emergency services.

PS
Imagine that every MS software sends out a uniquely identifiable broadcast gps signal when running from your computer. Imagine still that every computer sold broadcasts a unique identifiable signal via its Intel or AMD or third party chip.

Now imagine that your particular ID signal is broken up and distributed in packets every time you send data.

Unlike a low-tech lojack for computers you can't find and remove it - because its built into combinations of both your chip and your software.

Now imagine these are already there.
