She goes into several different topics, mostly created with questions about the way the NSA uses wiretapping to their advantage. It is very organized, and lengthy. This article gives me tons of information, that I can use to my advantage for my final research paper.
Diffie, Whitfield, and Susan Landau. "Brave New World Of Wiretapping." Scientific American 299.3 (2008): 56-63. Academic Search Premier. Web. 8 Feb. 2015.
Susan Landau, a distinguished engineer at Sun Microsystems Laboratories, works on an article with Whitefield Diffie, a chief security officer at Sun Microsystems. They write about the topic of wiretapping. They explore the topic from different perspective and many points. They talk about things like the history of wiretapping, the effect it has on the internet, and the results of cyber wars created from wiretapping. They back their information up with mostly eye witness accounts.
This article is great for just its thick details. I like it because its only giving the reader information about three major topics. Each topic is explained in full detail, and re-evaluated with key concepts.
