The guy who made T-shirts joking that NSA is the only government agency that listens has had all his NSA related products taken down off Zazzle, per copyright concerns by the NSA.
The article was titled “NSA goes after man who mocks it”, or something similar. Interesting that an agency with more child porn (in the form of teenage sexting) and X-rated selfies is going to feel bad about a minor political joke.
But fascists can’t stand to be mocked, so down goes the logo joke.

This thread has ‘N.S.A’ and ‘Unconstitutional’ in the title.

So....they may be listening.

I wonder if there is hashtag #FUNSA on twitter yet?

Is the FUNSA... a reference to Mark Sanford’s escapades in Argentina or a reference to the former employer of Eric Snowden....

#FUNSA is for enjoyable vacaqtion in South America :)

Nah, it’s b/c every Constitution loving American is tired of NSA and government and military officials saying they are saving nothing but then the drip-drip-drip of more revelations shows that they all lie about it. Shows the NSA is scanning everything, just as they have been doing since Echelon in the 90s if not before.
