To clairify, I could care less what information they obtain, I do not fear them. I do however, strongly oppose their current tactics. I'm not reall talking about cookies either.
Do not visit The NSA web site.

The criticism of wildcard for posting this is rooted in the fact that americans expect EVERY piece of information to be HuGe and shocking or they throw it out (what's worse, is this tendency to mock anyone who dares to go near government conspiracy). When the government schools stopped teaching clear concepts of truth versus error and right versus wrong, and started teaching nonsense such as relativism in EVERYTHING, americans lost the skill of inductive reasoning. The inability to use inductive reasoning is why "waking up" americans is next to impossible. It's next to impossible to actually reason with bush loyalists, klinton loyalists, and other government loyalists because they essentially give you an ultimatum: prove to me _______ or I won't believe (essentially force me to believe and "wow" me with shocking things that don't require anything of me or I won't believe). This wall people put up is the exact opposite of inductive reasoning, which simply means to take in a wide variety of varying pieces of information from many sources on an ongoing basis. It's something everyone would claim they do, but when you talk to them, most people revert back to their old loyalties and that problematic ultimatum I mentioned earlier.
It's interesting to observe how MANY people jumped on wildcard for a variety of reasons. It's almost as if several posters were disappointed that there wasn't anything new and shocking here. There IS however, some information (not a ton but some) in the article that is interesting and helpful.

What makes these cookies so "forbidden"?
The NSA website was doing nothing wrong; a simple mistake made the cookies persistent. How horrible is that? About as horrible if the TFL staff made their cookies persistent. So the only wrongdoing defying a small technicality via simple human error.
I understand that the guvmint and the likes should keep thier noses out of our lives, that privacy is important, that we can't ignore the small signs....but that doesn't mean we should jump down their throats every time some 20 year old geek interning at the White House forgets to uncheck a single box after spending two nights in a row configuring Apache on outdated government supplied computers.
I'd be flipping out if it was a piece of software that send data back to the host or allowed access to my computer but I'm not going to concern myself with a little text file that holds a fraction of the information than the ones from Amazon or even Google.
