I can't imagine what I have to threaten with. No, it was not a threat.

And your description doesn't make it sound as if it's intended to be a hinder 
to NSA.

We were discussing the proposal to make the task of mass surveillance more 
difficult for one or more nation's intelligence services.  That is where I feel 
the risk (not threat) is.

Since you can now get an ASIC bitcoin miner that does 10 giga hashes per second 
for around $240, we might have to adjust our capabilities assessment on the 
assumption that espionage agencies have custom silicon that we've never heard 
of, and lots of it. I don't think we can say for sure that TLS is any hurdle to 
NSA's mass surveillance program at all.
