Well, maybe one take-away from the Snowden movie - in case it's actually accurate - is that by recruiting traditional freedom-loving hackers there will be more potential whistleblowers in the future.
Another disparate thought:
The NSA we've seen so far appears to have been infinite reach, but with very limited analysis capability. E.g. they have have an army of humans trying to make sense of the mountains of data. Just imagine their capabilities when they have applied (already, perhaps) deep learning to this data feed. This is scary shit.
Suddenly they will have a very deep profile on every connected individal on earth (like 75% by now?).
