Great, guys. Release the eldritch horrors that the computational demonologists at NSA are trying to protect humanity from. . .

Maybe this is what you're looking for:

https://www.amazon.com/No-Place-Hide-Snowden-Surveillance-ebook/dp/B00E0CZX0G

It is apparently a yagi antenna, specifically this one I think.

I'm not convinced that this was intentional at all and believe your cynicism to be unwarranted in this particular case. As I read it, it appears the author was simply more concerned with specifically reporting on the NSA's reaction rather than the latest revelations themselves. His resume seems to support my suspicion, seeing as, among other things, he authored this book.

I have this one. It looks very similar to the one in the Snowden movie but it's too difficult to see if it's the exact one

It was removed as soon as you posted it by reddit's spam filter.

I think this is the problematic link:

EDIT: no, this link is not the problem.

I don't know why your post was removed, but one of those links is problematic.

this doesn't seem to be news

>The company was founded in 1998 by Daniel M. Lewin (then a graduate student at MIT) and MIT applied mathematics professor Tom Leighton, together with Jonathan Seelig, Preetish Nijhawan and Randall Kaplan.[

>Lewin was killed aboard American Airlines Flight 11, which crashed in the September 11 attacks of 2001.

the weirdest quote in a salon article on the matter

Sept. 11 secrets: The amazing life — and death — of an Internet pioneer on Flight 11
A plane that struck the Trade Center carried one of the Web's geniuses, who may have been the day's first casualty

>Plus, Lewin’s experience in the Israel Defense Forces should come in hand as the battle for Internet content delivery gets bloodier…”

from wikipedia

>A passenger on American Airlines Flight 11, Lewin was allegedly stabbed by one of the hijackers of that flight, and may have been the first person killed during the course of the attacks.

> A 2001 FAA memo suggests he may have been shot by Satam al-Suqami after he attempted to foil the hijacking.[9][10] According to the FAA, Lewin was seated in business class in seat 9B, close to hijackers Mohamed Atta, Abdulaziz al-Omari and al Suqami (who was possibly seated behind him). It was first reported that he had been shot by al Suqami, although this assertion was later changed to a stabbing. According to the 9/11 Commission, Lewin was stabbed by one of the hijackers, probably Satam al Suqami, who was seated directly behind him. The commission speculates that this may have occurred during an attempt by Lewin to confront one of the hijackers in front of him, not realizing that al Suqami was sitting just behind him.

>He served for four years in the Israel Defense Forces as an officer in Sayeret Matkal, one of the more notable IDF special forces units.[4] Lewin earned the rank of captain.

4 years of counter-terrorism training didn't pay off?

>Sayeret Matkal (Hebrew: סיירת מטכ"ל‎, General Staff Reconnaissance Unit) is a special forces unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). First and foremost a field intelligence-gathering unit, conducting deep reconnaissance behind enemy lines to obtain strategic intelligence, Sayeret Matkal is also tasked with counter-terrorism and hostage rescue beyond Israel's borders. The unit is modeled after the British Army's Special Air Service, taking the unit's motto "Who Dares Wins".[1] It is directly subordinate to the IDF's Directorate of Military Intelligence.

>It was a trip he had taken so many times—more than thirty in the past year—that he knew the flight crew by name, the numbers of the most comfortable seats, and the makes and models of the aircrafts.

>At this point, it’s possible Lewin suspected—perhaps before anyone else on the flight—that something terrible was about to happen. Having trained in the IDF’s most elite counter terrorism unit, he had learned to identify signs of attacks well before they were carried out. He also knew conversational Arabic, enough to have picked up on verbal cues if the five Middle Eastern passengers gave any.
