App keeps NSA abreast of your phone activity

It may well be that the NSA is recording every breath you take, every move you make.

But it’s going to take them quite some time to review whether your breaths and moves are, in some way, significant or even troubling.

So along comes an Android app that can help you by forewarning the NSA with “Look! It wasn’t me!”

I am grateful to Android Central for forewarning me about USA PRISM Plus.

Being an Android app, this sprightly invention relies on utter openness. For it takes random shots of your cell phone and sends them to the NSA Careers Twitter account.

You can decide how often you wish yourself to be exposed.

Some might consider this trollish behavior — though, for myself, I’m not sure whether the word “troll” has any consistent meaning.

There’s a certain charm in that the app’s tweets are accompanied by the words “random security check.”
