I'm surprised that anyone is surprised about the amount of electronic surveillance carried out by Governments.

Yeah, but this is the NAS actually tweaking android code! I guess that gets around the old wiretapping laws...

Rather NAS write it than the NSA :)

Anyway, better they do it for android where there are hundreds, if not thousands, scanning the open code to find vulnerabilities rather than a closed OS like iOS where no on kows what's really happening.
