A nice thought and practically the same thing that Google does. You hand in your privacy, but you get services back in return.

While a funny premise, it comes off a bit like someone yelling at a customer service rep at a retail store. They didn't make the rules; they're just underpaid to smile and take it.

Does the NSA have a fax number? I have a flatbed fax-machine that's easy to sit on and a couple of things I want to fax them...

Dumpert is one hell of a crazy online community. One more reason to learn Dutch :)

I doubt anyone working at the NSA is underpaid...if not overpaid.

Actually, it works fine outside the USA, just not from Canada or the UK.
