“And the words coming out of her mouth. My word. If I hadn’t seen the background check with my own eyes I’d be pretty sure she’d dated a sailor.”

"There's no central method to search an e-mail at this time with the way our records are set up, unfortunately," NSA Freedom of Information Act officer Cindy Blacker told me last week. The system is "a little antiquated and archaic," she added. ...
