Help the NSA Save Money - Something We All Can Do

Collecting intelligence on communications is a primary task at the NSA. It's very expensive, though, and that money comes right out of the taxpayer's pocket. Each of us can help the NSA in its job, saving money at the same time. Here's how you can help:

Every time you send an email, just add the following email address as a BCC (Blind Carbon Copy). That way, the NSA won't have to spend additional money collecting your email for possible perusal for nefarious activities. You know that you have no nefarious activities, but the NSA doesn't. So, just BCC all of your emails to the Public & Media Affairs Office at the address below:

nsapao@nsa.gov

Add that address to your address book, so it will be easy to add to each and every email you send.

as a recipient of the email, would they then not be forced to snoop on themselves adding additional expense?

BCC email to the appropriate division of the NSA as an action item. It would, however, create jobs at the agency, and that might offset the cost savings. Still, it would be helpful to the agency, so I'm for it, 110%.
