He's going to bring both the hammer and sycle down on all people in a few hundred mile radius of Sochi just to TRY to prove Russia is a good place to spend your tourist money.

(62,325 posts)Snowden makes a public statement on this, the FSB will be the first to know since they can legally monitor and read all communications in Russia in real time. So can every other Russian government agency. Without a warrant, any sort of probable cause, or even a court to go through.
You could not pay me to go to Sochi. I won't visit Russia for any reason whatsoever. But if you do go, only use traveler's checks and a burner phone. Talk to your bank manager or credit card company about the most secure credit card to take as a backup for emergency use.
