It is also, across every standard communication channel available in 2026, functionally gone — not by any single law or ruling, but by the convergence of three independent systems: PRISM, which collects digital communications before any assertion of privilege is possible; MICT, which maps the relational architecture of physical correspondence without opening a single letter; and United States v.
