Iranian-born filmmaker calls NSA to recover deleted email

This is a hoot.

"Hello, NSA? I deleted an email"

From the article:

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, so maybe he's a person of interest to the NSA. Could she check for his email now?

There's a video of the actual call on that site, but it doesn't embed. Go there now (click on the article title) and watch it if you want a good laugh.
