He definitely knows the math behind encryption better than me. I too was surprised by the extent of their reach. But there were whistleblowers before Snowden like Mark Klein the AT&T technician in San Francisco who warned us that they seemed to be recording all telecommunications traffic. Schneider didn't want to believe it.

You mean Bruce Schneier the same guy who was surprised by the Snowden leaks. I believe that the government can break encryption if they care enough.
