I was thinking of such recently without reading anyones info but did not wanted to post because most already think I m crazy.
We the end users have the illusion of security which was created for us, but there are intentional direct access back doors which are created for them, those who rule Echelon project.
Here is something that I experience from when I have begin domaining, every time I don't hand register some specific domains I take a screenshot as evidence for later, the next day I decide to go and hand reg those domains and I see that some of them are already registered with some old reg date, then I go to chk my screenshots and surprise the screenshot is nowhere to be found, I trust my memory and I know I m right.
The domains were hand registered at different registrars but the most frequent was Godaddy you know the DN beast of internet.
