It's actually a great deal worse than you might think.  I am sorry I am not
at liberty to divulge the technical details but be advised that NSA and DHS
"backdoor" access is available from IPSEC, JAVA, Microsoft Explorer and M$
Systems, and all of the various means for which a standard BACKTRACK user
could gain access [i.e. everything] without consequences.

Be advised that EVERYTHING you type or do on your systems regardless of your
OS, when logged into ANY browser, is completely available to any government
staff.

There is no privacy or security; get over it!
