Russia, the new home of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, may not be a spy-free zone, but the 31-year-old reminded Americans that the NSA and its sister agencies are still eating privacy for breakfast.

In an interview with PBS in Russia he states, "The NSA and its sister agencies are attacking the critical infrastructure of the internet to try to take ownership of it. They hack the routers that connect nations to the internet itself."

If the NSA controlling the internet isn't scary enough, the United States' new fondness for cyber warfare may turn around and bite us in the tukhus.

Snowden states, "I do agree that when it comes to cyber warfare, we have more to lose than any other nation on earth. The technical sector is the backbone of the American economy, and if we start engaging in these kind of behaviors, in these kind of attacks, we’re setting a standard, we’re creating a new international norm of behavior that says this is what nations do."
