It Sounds Better in Theory

In theory, this "Flame" thing sounds great for spying on the bad guys in other countries.  The thing is, you know it's only a matter of time before the government starts using it to spy on U. S. citizens, too.  Which is cool when you see the government use it on NCIS to spy on bad guys.  It's not so cool when the government uses it to spy on you.

Shorter version:  Never assume you're keeping anything private.
