Going to go ahead and be the voice of reason and state that:

1. The NSA does not keep a "file" on you. Domestic matters are the FBI's territory. The NSA is tasked with strictly foreign surveillance. If information is contained in databases that correspond to your communiques, it is not catalogued as "Kevin Collier", because that would be a direct FISA violation and trigger administrative removal of the data along with reporting about how the violation occurred.

2. I can almost say with complete confidence that our national security resources aren't being used to target white suburban bloggers.

3. By flooding NSA public relations with these useless requests, you're blocking potentially real requests from being processed. If you really cared about getting actual information about programs, you would back EFF, etc. efforts.
