But ask the NSA, as part of a freedom of information request, to do a seemingly simple search of its own employees' email? The agency says it doesn't have the technology.

"There's no central method to search an email 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.

I filed a request last week for emails between NSA employees and employees of the National Geographic Channel over a specific time period. The TV station had aired a friendly documentary on the NSA and I want to better understand the agency's public-relations efforts.

Antiquated?

Archaic?

Seriously?

Not sure about you, but this just seems a bit "convenient" to me.

Wouldn't Edward Snowden have something to say on that!?

Ms. Blacker seems to be playing a risky gambit with the "denial as usual"!

He was scheduled to make a statement on it, but never showed up. His publicist said he was busy taking a shower & changing after pissing himself while he laughed his way into incontinence. :P

 :D :Thmbsup: - However it does make perfect sense as obviously they wouldn't want any sort of "paper trail" documenting their own terrorist activities.
