> "if your data never crosses a US border (E.g. a Norwegian person using jottacloud), then the NSA cable taps have no effect"

Perhaps, as pertains to the taps we were warned about by Mark Klein, Snowden, et al. But if you think that's the full extent of US intelligence taps, Angela Merkel's cell phone rather disagrees. (And the notion that they'd tap a half dozen foreign leaders before they tapped a trunk line or five is pretty laughable.)
