I regularly speak on the phone with an elderly retired military intelligence analyst. He makes it a point to get phrases like “nuclear materials” and “bomb parts” and “terrorist activity” into the early part of our phone calls, usually talking about current events. I’ve asked him why. He insists the NSA notes such phrases using their vast computer capability and then analyzes the entire recorded conversation for security purposes, and that he is just messing with them.

I used to think he was just pulling my chain.
