It's a newly released movie, and worth seeing before it makes it to
airplanes.  Opens with a Congressman being killed by government agents
because of his opposition to a "communications privacy" act.  The movie
goes on to give a review of just how non-private communications already
have become.  Well placed snips of quotes from the head of the FBI on how
such legislation is needed for protection against terrorists, etc.

Best of all,  in the credits, there is no list of  government agencies
thanked for their help in producing the film.

Would love to hear commentary on the accuracy of the technical contents....
