Have A Deleted Email? Who you gonna call?

Iranian-Dutch filmmaker Bahram Sadeghi accidentally deleted an email message and couldn't get it back, so he decided to call up an organization with a reputation for email storage: the U.S. National Security Agency.

When he couldn't get an NSA employee to admit to collecting email and Internet data, he let her know that he was born in Iran, with many media friends and traveled a lot,so maybe he's a person of interest to the NSA. Could she check for his email now?

Seems like a prank call if you ask me.

It's not a prank.

The guy is just showing that all the data collecting is not for personal luxuries to extend to the people paying for the program.

You you honestly think the guy accidentally deleted an email and really though the NSA would be able to get it back for him??

If not..its a prank call.

I'm of the opinion that there was no email accidentally deleted.

What would drive the guy to make the call?

To make sure he gets on the right list?

Living the American dream for 26 years?


Maybe he's mocking the intelligence of imbeciles, who knows?

This was on the Dutch news.
There was NO deleted email, he wanted to find out if it was possible to call the NSA as a private citizen and retrieve intel!
He is a Dutch freelance journalist.
