I think it is worth remembering that there isn't evidence there is a global passive adversary at the moment, even if certain agencies and organizations clearly aspire to be one.
Quite so. It is well established that these so called agencies do not aspire to be passive. Or perhaps you simply typed the word "passive" by shear force of habit and instead meant to convey "suffiently global adversary". :)
Curiouser and curiouser! So, dawuud, you imply that habit has a velocity vector(!) and that it changes over distance(!!) in one or more dimensions, and thus exerts a shear force on...what? A typist's fingers and hand placed within the volume where shear is present? Strong enough, perhaps, to roll them up and maybe even break a wrist? Well, I guess one lives and learns!
