I am not trying to bring down the NSA, I am working to improve the NSA. I am still working for the NSA right now. They are the only ones who don't realize it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was working at the NSA. I don't know, I was just bored. I just knew that's not what I was supposed to be doing with my life.
The NSA has the greatest surveillance capabilities in American history... The real problem is that they're using these capabilities to make us vulnerable.
I'm not against the NSA. I'm not against spying; I'm not against looking at phone records.
Once you're in a network, you can do a whole bunch of things to that network. It's just that NSA doesn't have the authority to do that.
The NSA routinely lies in response to congressional inquiries about the scope of surveillance in America.
I can't in good conscience allow the U.S. government to destroy privacy, internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they're secretly building.
Right after 9/11, I mean, every agency can give their own gradation, but a nice, popular rule of thumb is everybody doubled down. I ended up in NSA with about twice as much money as I had prior to 9/11.
Opponents of civil liberties contend the NSA data collection has made our country more safe, but even the most vocal defenders of the program have failed to identify a single thwarted plot.

What I said was, the NSA does not voyeuristically pore through U.S. citizens' e-mails. I stand by that.
