According to an AP report, the website for the National Security Agency has been placing banned tracking cookies on visitors' machines.
These files, known as "cookies," disappeared after a privacy activist complained and The Associated Press made inquiries this week, and agency officials acknowledged Wednesday they had made a mistake.

Nonetheless, the issue raises questions about privacy at a spy agency already on the defensive amid reports of a secretive eavesdropping program in the United States.

    You know, I know everyone's all up in arms about this... but it doesn't make sense to me.

    If you're really worried about privacy, why would visit the NSA site, of all sites?!

    I highly recommend noone else respond to this post, because the NSA will surely flag it and track your IP!

    I bought some Band Cookies from a tuba player at my old High School. Last I heard they took the money they raised and blew it on a trombone. :mullet:
