Everyone in USA is under virtual surveillance
With all the talk this week about the latest NSA leak by Edward Snowden and Obama saying not to worry it is just "Metadata" this interview of William Binney (former NSA crypto-mathematician) in late 2012 is very important. William blows away any assurances that the content of communications is not stored, after all why would you sniff all the traffic on a line only then to sift through it just to keep the metadata. It would be like buying a rump steak only to remove the fat and then throw away the meat - data sniffing just don't work that way.

Rick Santelli on the dangers of early access to data when combined with HFT
Oh the eternity of 2 seconds when compared to pico second high frequency trading.
From wikipedia
A picosecond is 10−12 of a second. That is one trillionth, or one millionth of one millionth of a second, or 0.000 000 000 001 seconds. A picosecond is to one second as one second is to 31,700 years. Or in this case 63,400 years.

Putin on NSA leak
Of course Putin would not be surprised, he did work for the KGB for 16 years.
Extract of Vladamir Putin's wikipedia entry:
From 1985 to 1990, the KGB stationed Putin in Dresden, East Germany.[39] Following the collapse of the East German government, Putin was recalled to the Soviet Union and returned to Leningrad, where in June 1991 he assumed a position with the International Affairs section of Leningrad State University, reporting to Vice-Rector Yuriy Molchanov.[38] In his new position, Putin maintained surveillance on the student body and kept an eye out for recruits. It was during his stint at the university that Putin grew reacquainted with his former professor Anatoly Sobchak, then mayor of Leningrad.[40]
Putin finally resigned from the active state security services with the rank of Lieutenant colonel on 20 August 1991 (with some attempts to resign made earlier),[40] on the second day of the KGB-supported abortive putsch against Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.[41] Putin later explained his decision: "As soon as the coup began, I immediately decided which side I was on", though he also noted that the choice was hard because he had spent the best part of his life with "the organs".[42]
