Prankster Calls NSA To Restore Deleted E-mail 221
First time accepted submitter manu0601 writes "Since the NSA snoops, intercepts and store our e-mails forever, why not use it as a backup service? It just lacks the API to restore files, therefore this guy [YouTube video] called the NSA to ask for a backup restoration. Guess what? It did not work." After all, why should we have to pay twice for services already performed with tax dollars?

So what are we paying them for, anyway?
To be allowed to live... To avoid 'detainment'. These are the things you pay for. I don't know why people are so repulsed when the mafia does these kinds of things.

The real problem is that even if you did get your email back it would be heavily redacted. :-)

There. That should do.

Why does getting jailed for recording a call to an agency known for recording everybody's calls without legal oversight, in order to get a recording of a conversation (even if by email) strike me as just a tad ironic?

Otherwise I am CONVINCED that they would help him out. That is how the government works, right?
Helping the folks that pay for their wages, comfy chairs, first class coffee on their long leisurely coffee breaks?
Always at the service of the people in a jiffy and with a smile!
Always doing that little extra to make sure your every tax-penny is a well-spend-penny.
The government that always goes for the 110% customer care.
A wink and a tip to the hat whenever you merrily walking out of some government building where they truly understood your case.
Where papers and forms are kept to a bare minimum in order to keep the well oiled machine running as cost-effective as possible.

Yep. Working towards doing it on a totally off-grid solar system.
You're building an entire solar system just to power your house? You must go through a LOT of light bulbs.
