> “People like us make our money in the seams of things” Who said it: a Senior Official at the National Security Agency (NSA)

I find this sentiment to be terrifying when it comes from the government, let alone the NSA.

Government employees should be worried about nothing except than the efficient and legal discharge of their legal obligations/goals. I hope the wider context of the conversation makes this more innocent than it initially sounds.



I read "make our money" to be "earn our salaries", ie their job is primarily involved with the "seams"
