It seems like we (as a society) haven't taken any steps to defund the NSA... maybe that's just a utopian fantasy anyways.

Don't let a valet from LA read this or it will end up in the next Mission: Impossible
Yes, but. Edgar Edward (Doc) Smith wrote science fiction in the first half of the 1900s that described many kinds of fantastic electronics, in reasonable detail. If he could write like that back then, just think of what government researchers, with their almost unlimited funding, might have been able to do for real by now.
It's kinda slow today. Otherwise I would have expected someone to have corrected me by now.
Doc Smith's name was Edward Elmer Smith, Ph.D.
Doc Smith's sci-fi Lensman series (pre-1950) and Skylark series explain a whole lot of things about the way radio might work. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_the_Lens_%28novel%29 for info about his Children of the Lens novel.
Spacehounds of IPC is a single novel that holds a lot of electromagnetic info in simple layman's terms. Some of the info is outdated. But much of it is right on. Some of it is still in the theory stage.
How much of this kind of "stuff" have the many technologically minded people, companies and governments secretly developed?
No one would have dared correcting you. Your word is the gospel on bitcointalk...
You are talking about the Gospel of Jesus, right? Just trying to save all those NSA agents.

Do you think that the police with their new see-inside-homes radar can access computers that are offline? Maybe they can even trace the circuitry on a powered down computer enough so that they can mimic a turning hard drive, and read what's on the hard drive... you know, by spinning the radar like a tornado.

It's clear now that we need open-source hardware as much as we need open-source software. In the future we'll use something like Maidsafe as internet, with open-source routers independent from ISP, with open-source CPU's motherboards and GPUs, potentially even 3d printed at home.
Then maybe, maybe we can talk about privacy.

Some people are trying hard to do just that.

Then maybe, maybe we can talk about privacy.
We will need multiple, simultaneous access to all the data, right at our fingertips. As we hit the keys on the keyboard, we will not only need multiple outputs for each key so that they can't tell which key we are hitting electronically, but we will need some way to blur their vision, as though they were standing right behind us, looking over our shoulder.
This is getting way too complicated.
Time to use the Karl Lentz method - the common law built right into the constitution, and used even by the lawyers - to sue the pants off them for for stealing out privacy, which is our property.

If hackers figure out the spreading codes for everybody's nanotech implants we could be in for a zombie apocalypse.
Lol... that will be interesting. BTW... how many people in this world are actually having nano-tech implants? Enough to create a zombie army?
Some of the web sites that follow the transhumanist movement push numbers as high as 99% of the global population.
So that would include you too. Where is your reset button by the way?

If you think you are safe. You are not.
If you think you can hide something on your computer. You can not.
If you think you are anonymous on the internet. You are not.
If you think that they are ways to keep your privacy. They are not any.
Bear that in your mind. This is the world we are live in.

If the NSA can do it, then so can others.. less safe world for all of us

Soon we will have hackers stealing bitcoins from offline wallets. The advancement in technology is not always a good news.
