  What does this sound like?

  "In particular, there was no need to delve into the details of the means by which the FBI had
  located the SR Server in the first place. All that mattered was that the FBI had in fact located
  it, as its forensic examination of the server had confirmed. How the FBI had done so was not
  necessary to establish probable cause for subsequent searches of other property."
  
  Which came first the IP leak or the bogey man?

  Seems to me the NSA can only hold whats in the pipe. Hold on to too much and it spills.
  Blazing Saddles comes to mind.

• On the post: Senator Bernie Sanders Asks The NSA If It's Spying On Congress

  

  bgmcb ( profile ), 03 Jan, 2014 @ 09:31pm

  Dear Senator Sanders,
  
  The NSA does not spy on ordinary Americans.
  
  Thanks
  The NSA.
  
  P.S. You can count yourself as an ordinary American if you do not:
  1. Use a cell phone.
  2. Speak near a cell phone.
  3. Use a VOIP phone.
  4. Use the internet.
  5. Are in a position to effect the budget of the Homeland Security or Department of Defense.
