In their continuing struggle to find new and more efficient ways to abuse the basic human rights of the people of America and the world, the NSA is attempting to build a quantum supercomputer.

Apparently, they need such a machine specifically for the purpose of breaking encryption on your email, if you have bothered to put encryption on your email, Snowden has revealed.

From the BBC:

The spying agency hopes to harness the special qualities of quantum computers to speed up its code-cracking efforts.

The NSA is believed to have spent about $80m (£49m) on the project but it has yet to produce a working machine.

If the NSA managed to develop a working quantum computer it would be put to work breaking encryption systems used online and by foreign governments to keep official messages secure, suggest the documents excerpted in the Post.

The quantum computer is being developed under a research programme called Penetrating Hard Targets and is believed to be conducted out of a lab in Maryland.

In America, freedom means the government uses your tax dollars to find new and weirder ways to strip you of your basic dignity.
