Intelligence workers have a really good time looking at suggestive photos of unknowing Americans, says Edward Snowden.

He said NSA analysts searching for signals intelligence were examining mostly mundane – but sometimes intimate – messages and photographs sent online or through cellphones by “ordinary citizens.”

“They stumble across something … completely unrelated to their work, for example an intimate nude photo of someone in a sexually compromising situation,” he told The Guardian newspaper from Moscow, where he has sought temporary asylum after leaking classified documents about U.S. surveillance programs. “They turn around in their chair and they show a co-worker. And their co-worker says: ‘Oh, hey, that’s great. Send that to Bill down the way.’ And then Bill sends it to George, George sends it to Tom and sooner or later this person’s whole life has been seen by all of these other people.”

    After seeing my pictures, Snowden tells me the agents ran to the sink screaming for eye bleach.

      I know the feeling… Although I am thinking I am going to write “SMACK THIS NSA” across my ass, and just start texting it, and see what happens… =)

    This is why I always snap photos of male models from the Sears catalog when someone wants a photo of me.

    I have a hard time believing that there is much sharing of inappropriate pictures going on. That sounds like a good way to lose a job and most people want to keep their job. This sounds like Snowden saying something to get attention and really not much more than that.

    That would explain the unmarked black Suburban that pulled up to my house and left a note saying “Re: your cell phone pictures…stop…just stop”

    I apologize in advance for everybody I am about to offend. BUTTTTTTTT

    What do you think they do, when they come across something like this? Do you think they still share the pics?

    • Anomaly 100 July 23rd, 2014 at 12:15

      Pistol! are you familiar with the concept of not being able to “unsee” something.

      • Pistol-Packing July 23rd, 2014 at 12:20

      That shirt is a wee bit too small. Perhaps she should buy her clothing from Omar the Tent maker?
