I watched this story on "The National" and had to chuckle when the reporter listed all the embassy's she'd called who'd denied being involved. Did she seriously expect one of them to admit they were responsible? LOL

We are all being trained to use our cell-phones only to order pizza. This is bringing back good old fashioned high security typewriters, meetings in person, and faraday cage three piece suits. Sales of the cone-of-silence is also increasing.

The reality is this stuff is happening and we all agree that its ok.

How do I know this? When did even one of us actually read the things we click "i agree" to when we set up our cell phones?
