OT: NSA story keeps getting bigger...

[Derek Trotter]

I'd like to see Verizon and any other company forced by government to 
hand over customer records do the following.

Figure out how much it will cost the company to comply.  Divide that 
figure by the number of customers the add it to their bills. On each 
bill explain that the new charge is how much per customer it costs the 
company to comply with the government requirement to hand over their 
data.  Let people see it's costing them and a few more might take notice.
