Speculative NSA Surveillance Map

The ACLU has released an article and map that speculate on the ways and means the National Security Agency might be spying on Americans. The map is especially interesting, showing known ports of entry for telecom data into the country, and potential points of NSA interception. I suppose it's largely rhetorical since it's almost completely speculative, but it's a powerful infographic nonetheless. Is this an abuse of cartography or a case study in its ability to simply convey important data?

That, sir, is implantable

World's smallest GPS receiver, by a company called Rakon. I want to put one in every organ in my body so if any of them are ever stolen, I will know where to find them. Then I could make a website called "Map Ken-ichi's Pancreas." No doubt the advertising royalties would enable me to buy a new pancreas.
