There's a line from the movie The Godfather where one of the bosses is talking about selling narcotics:

"For years I used to pay my people extra, so they wouldn't do that sort of thing. But they come to me and say, 'For three or four thousand dollars, we can make fifty thousand.' And that they can't turn down."

So all the intelligence agencies have to start doing what the NSA is already doing, or they'll get left behind. And what DHS is doing and Facebook is doing and Amazon is doing...

I'm worried this timeline is the Radiant Doors one.
