Spontaneous Wireless Networking to Counter Pervasive Monitoring

Pervasive monitoring does not exist for one good reason: if monitoring does happen, as revealed by recent whistleblowing that highlighted the scale of NSA surveillance activities [1], it happens in very few key central locations in the network. Monitoring, as we know it so far, is thus by no means pervasive in the geographical or topological sense. One might further speculate that such monitoring will probably never become pervasive because it would simply be too expensive to put in place.
