It wouldn't surprise me if Russia or other nations have tapped into those lines already and have done for years undetected as a surveillance method, there is no tampering alerts or anything on these lines so who's to say its not already done, the amount of data being transferred would be enormous.

I mean, I can't be the only one who's played with Cain & Abel, it takes minutes to sniff packets for information on a network. Just think what a government could do that has far more resources than a free bit of software and a little bit of knowledge, tapped into the wider web of an entire nation.

Cutting then I would imagine would be a last resort "if" they could potentially tap in, would be far more valuable active.

With over 2000 strategic nuclear weapons on high trigger alert the cables are the last thing we need to think about.
