Sooo, they probably have an archive of communication from people who are into bdsm.

Because we're obviously terrorists.

He said it didn't matter, they were monitoring ALL communication from everyone.

 

[Yasashii_Kaze]

Oooh, the things they'll hear from MY conversations!

 

[Vail_Indigo]

Because we're obviously terrorists.

No, silly.
They aren't saying we are terrorists. That would be a lie.
They are saying that we MIGHT become terrorists and so it would be wrong of them to NOT spy on us.
Jeez. How naive you are.

Vail scares me, too. She's in Maryland, which means she almost certainly works for NSA, CIA or one of the *nameless* agencies we're not supposed to know the government has. (Because everyone knows that 89.463% of all Virginians and Marylanders work for the gov. )

 

[graceanne]

And you think they weren't watching before?

 

[satindesire]

All the better reason not to talk about shooting people or human trafficking online, eh?

So they know that we're madly in love. It's no big secret or anything. Right?

Maryland is NSA. My father used to work there until he died in 1985. CIA is Virginia, I almost got a job there which would've been a super awesome commute if it had come through! And I would say only about 60% work for the government. Which is still A WHOLE FREAKIN' LOT.

Also, once again, no captions. *shakes angry fist*

silly girl!
live close enough to the borders, and you can work in Maryland, Virginia, or DC (which is where I work)

Yes, I know - I've been a Washingtonian my whole life! I often get funny looks when people ask me where I'm from and I say "here" but it's the only home I've ever known.

Early 90's, I read an article that said that the NSA had a "smart" monitoring system on the nation's communication system that would monitor all conversations for keywords relating to nuclear weapons. I mentioned this to my friend G and, having a similar sense of humour to myself, we spent the next couple of years peppering our talk with those keywords.

Me: Damn, I can't stand my english professor. Fissionable materials.
G: Prof Soandso? She's a stone cold uranium bitch.
Me: I know. Atlas Missile. Though it was hilarious to hear her pronouce the "deus" in "deus ex machina" as "deuce"

G is now an officer in the Army. Makes me wonder if any of those conversations showed up while he was going for his security clearance...

I am a big-time government truster. I believe the government is telling us the truth about wha happened on 9/11. (Not why, but what.) And so forth. But I think anybody who believes the government ISN'T spying on them is looney tunes. Come on, of course they are. If you have something to lose, don't say or do things that would cause you to lose it.
