I'm not sure what the worry is about the NSA monitering electronic
communications. After all I've never heard of the NSA 'doing' anything 
except knowing about things. The CIA on the other hand.....
                  
Anybody for compiling a list of words they think the NSA keys on?
Such as Plutonium, Assasination, bomb ...

I, for one, am not worried about NSA or anyother "secret agent man"
outfit listening in on the net.  I would like to know if they are,
just to satisfy my curiosity.
.
I'm all for collating a list of the "key words" that NSA "keys" on
and to include them in transmissions.  What with Uncle Ronnie's budget
cuts, pay cuts, staff cuts, etc., I'm sure the spook community, as
all the other "snivel serpents", are worried about their jobs.  There-
fore if we all put the "keywords" in out transmissions they can say:
"Hey look.  This net is a den of commie pinkos, therefore we can't have
our budget cut!"

Question:  Which is worse, Civil Service or Welfare.
.
Answer:  They are equal, because neither work for a living.
