Dear NSA

Maybe my cell is too old to be affected by the new report of your access to SIM cards, but I did make a rare call on it today to make a reservation for lunch at the Café du Soleil. Now we didn't have their famous fondue, but we did reminisce about our first meal there when we met up for the first time in 24 years.

At that time the waiter didn't look like Robbie Williams.

If any of you are in Geneva, I recommend you go there. The Malakoffs are good too.

The first paragraph story about the cards from The Intercept is below. I haven't seen it in the major US papers but I haven't checked them all. It is in some of the international papers.


"Explosive new reporting by The Intercept published Thursday, based on documents obtained by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, reveals how the U.S. spy agency and their British counterpart, the GCHQ, worked together in order to hack into the computer systems of the world's largest manufacturer of cell phone SIM cards – giving government spies access to highly-guarded encryption codes and unparalleled abilities to monitor the global communications of those with phones using the cards."
