Executive Club Meeting
7:00 pm • Wednesday June 4th • Airport Shilo Inn
What's the difference between Carbonite Backup and the NSA?
Carbonite will give you back your data when you ask for it.
And you can unsubscribe when you want to.
NSA guy gets home from work, says to his wife:
"Hey, nice present you bought me today.
When can I open it?"
How is the NSA different from the rest of government?
The NSA actually listens to you when you call.
And reads your letters.
At least we can still laugh about it. Nervously.
But...
9/11 made people scared, and government DNA is wired to use
any excuse to expand... especially panic or grief.
How big? How deep? How much data? From whom?
Let's ask...
Diane Roark
She retired in 2002 after 17 years serving on the Republican professional staff
of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
For the last 5 years, Diane had primary staff Republican/majority oversight
responsibility for the National Security Agency.
Yup. Watching over No Such Agency. And their budget.
And how they wanted to spend it.
And what they got for the money.
More importantly: what Americans LOST in the process.
Which is why she's NOT smiling.
She has told the story with substantial personal risk: accused of felonies,
home raided, computers seized and still not returned.
You don't really want to miss this Executive Club, do you?
The NSA will be listening. Shouldn't you?
Join us Wednesday night.
Wrap your phone in a towel, or take out the battery.
Make 'em work for it.
