Maybe we should ALL file FOIA's and see if we can swamp them?

I was going to do it, just to see what they have on me... but even if they have nothing on you- requesting a foia generates an incident report on you.

NSA sends Glomar denials to everyone requesting their files:

Collins, you should change the title from Leaks to "Revelations" or, better yet, "Heroic Revelations"

I always get the extra special treatment going through airports. i'm either the most unluckiest person alive, or something puts a red flag on me.

Same here. One of the major reasons I refuse to fly. The last time, I met a congressional staffer who always gets the same. And there is a WIRED reporter that gets it every time and in one of her stories, she talked about a person she was reporting about that always gets it. There was a pic of a boarding pass in one of those articles. They have a code, like 000 on them that singles you out for special treatment.
