Hello N.S.A.-- The List, Alphabetized



The original list appeared with categories.  This list is alphabetized.  I suspect that the list that has been published was not a completed list because the first letter of every word appearing after the "Enter" key had been hit was capitalized.  In the original list "agriculture" appeared as "Agriculture," "bridge" was "Bridge," "car bomb" read as "Car bomb" and so forth.  The simplest explanation is that the program was set to capitalize the first letter of the first word on each line and this wasn't corrected in the settings.  I suspect that the list that has been published is a draft. The possibility exists that the list was intended to have more words on it-- or that there is in existence a finished list which may indeed have more words on it.

It is possible that in transposing the list, I may have erased or neglected to type some words.  That would be my error alone and I regret it if such an error in fact occurred.  

One "solution" that a buddy of mine suggested was "Don't use any of the list words in any e-mails."  I consider that workaround to be impractical.  Attempting to implement such a strategy means that folks would not be able to use certain medical words, geographical locations, weather descriptors, or talk about recovery from narcotics in their correspondence.  

Although I found many of the target words to be an obvious choice, there were a few whose inclusion gave me pause-- "artistic", "Red Cross", and "wave".  The mystery phrase is "Basque separatists."  I was saddened to see "2600" and "phreaking" included as worthy of suspicion.  The problems that the magazine 2600 has had with authorities in the past have been extensive and legendary.  The phone phreakers were the original hackers [back in the days when Ma Bell was still a conglomerate].  I have known and loved a few of them in my past.  

Without further ado, here then is The List, alphabetized:
