Have you ever downloaded tunes off of LimeWire? Swapped TV show torrents? Then don't bother trying to work for the NSA.
At a recent recruiting session, an Agency staffer told wannabe spooks that "illegal file sharing" was one of the things that would keep them from getting the security clearances needed to work at the NSA. (Spending time in the Peace Corps was another).
Quick question: Since practically every college kid in the country has done some illegal online swapping, doesn't that effectively cut the NSA's pool of new recruits to like, zero?
Anyway, this is one of a whole slew of fascinating tidbits in Jeff Quinton's account, down below, of an NSA recruiting session. Make sure to read the whole thing.
