So, I got a reply from the NSA n/r

[RobertEarl]

Here is a copy of the reply to this question:

Dear NSA,

Can you tell me if you are making a copy of every telephone call and post on DU?

Thanks, Robert Earl

Dear Robert Earl,

No we can't tell you that. Everything we do is a secret. Not even your representatives, who we can tell what we do, are allowed to tell you what we do. It is all done in secret.

****************

So, should I even ask them if they are capable of making a copy of everything? What do you think? Can they copy everything and anything?

1. It's scary that MY NSA reply was there even though I'd forgotten to actually hit send! nt

[RobertEarl]

2. They are good

That's why we pay them the Big Bucks.

They know what you are doing as soon as you do.

Gawd, do I feel safe!

[Pholus]

3. I will feel safer when the reply pops in BEFORE I hit send...

and the message body says something like "and by the way, you're low on milk."

Now the ability to watch my milk level? Worth 80 billion a year!

4. It is the future

A Brave New World, is what it is.

5. Sadly yes. And the revolution was indeed not televised (for security reasons)... nt

[Pholus]

7. You don't have to worry about the NSA...

They're still looking for BeFree.
