The Amazon Echo is an electronic device. It sits in your living-room, it reacts to voice-commands and it listens to everything you are saying, 24/7.

In response to a FOIA-request, the FBI can neither confirm nor deny that they use the Amazon Echo to spy on people.

Oh, btw, the NSA can bug your smartphone with malware that fakes turning it off.

1. Well, duh. We neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons aboard Naval vessels,

either.

Good grief--they covered this in The Good Wife. If it's got a doggone speaker on it, or a camera, ASSUME it can be tapped, made to look at/listen to YOU....and behave accordingly.

Wait for it....it's worth the ride.

2. And Snowden is being blamed for letting us, the people, in on this?

6. Excellent Point!

My answer is obvious.... Yeah, he sure is, and we're supposed to think he's a traitor for that?

I don't think so and never did.

8. Next time you run around the house naked, you might want to cover your TV

and your PC camera.

But we can neither confirm or deny that we are watching you dance naked in your living room.

10. I understand what you are saying, but... I'm a guy and they can look at my sorry ass all they want

11. Now I'm looking at my Echo and wonder what I should say to it.

I'd hate to bore the FBI. I need to up my game.

13. I keep telling the NSA that I need a job

they were interested in hiring me in 1985 but I took a pass on it.

I've told them for years that I am available now.

So far no job offers though.
