NEW: 8 friggin years ago, I filed a #FOIA request w/NSA for docs used at a presentation the agency gave at Purdue University where NSA was trying to shore up its image after the Snowden leaks

NSA *just* responded & turned over a slide deck. Let's take a look at some

🙄

1/

NSA personnel are friendly and cool and play guitar

2/

NSA is a good neighbor

3/

NSA doesn't like leaks

4/

NSA cares about civil liberties and privacy

5/

Metadata and hops: a primer

6/

Repeat: protect civil liberties and privacy

7/

Success stories: FISA and Section 702

One more time...NSA protects your privacy

9/

What is remarkable about this response from the NSA to my #FOIA request that I waited 8 YEARS for is that the agency says it has MORE docs responsive to my request BUT I have to go to the back of the line again?! 🤯

Anyway, here's the full NSA slide deck from way back in 2014.

I'll return to this thread in another 8 years when the other docs arrive (unless I decide to sue them)
