I would be interested to see if Mr. Klein achieved something in his fight against NSA's surveillance program. It was back in 2007 and now we have 2013. Five years gone.

I'd say it's more likely his life is destroyed, I would love to know how he's making a living today.

Either way, he's not the one who was supposed to have "achieved something" in that battle, we were, the people should have reacted. They didn't, and they won't this time either. Sorry but we're just too complacent with all our luxuries and comforts.

He was already retired when that article was written.

For most individuals things like these don't matter afterall. It's a small minority which even cares, so I don't really even wonder anymore.

Just mind your own business and avoid problems, that works the best for an individual person. Sad but true.

He was already retired when the article was written.

The lawsuit he helped inspire is still in the courts, and the EFF is still fighting the governments assertions that such lawsuits cannot be brought because of state secrets
