#2Why would the NSA think that data in the Netherlands was covered by US legislation!?!

#3I'm mostly impressed that they just pick up the phone and call. Must've been a not-very-experienced NSA employee. Or NSA performing social engineering scams, but I doubt that.

Hm, what’s wrong with just calling? It is probably the easiest way to find out whether someone is generally willing to cooperate, and if they don’t, the NSA doesn’t lose much either?

Because they're the NSA and likely assume that everyone will comply.

#6Always try the handle, if its not locked, walk on in. Now that they see its locked, they'll break the lock.

#7My working assumption is the NSA has God power and root on everything and everyone. They do not need to call anyone. This is timely PR posturing that NSA is mortal and deserves our sympathy and further budget aid.

#8How do you know if this caller is from the NSA for real? I could get up to all sorts if mischief. Either I can make the NSA look bad, or I can social engineer my way into ISPs by pretending to be the NSA. Good on this ISP though!

In what way is this sympathetic to the NSA's budgetary needs?

I wonder how many would actually comply to such a call (before this whole PRISM thing came up) and how it would move on. I mean - why are they calling? Do they expect them to spell out their root passwords?
