If I see NSA on a resume, it's going in the trash. Just being honest.

As an outsider to the US, I expected a job for the NSA to be seen as respectable. Quite surprised that it seems to be quite the opposite.

Why should we respect those that spy on us? Would you expect Germans respect the Stasi?

Google, Facebook, ... every time we talk about these things the US position seems to be Germans are privacy nuts. It shouldn't be surprising that we think people in the US don't see privacy invasions as a serious problem / accept them in the name of a "higher purpose".

It is perfectly respectable to most people, not the loud few commenters you find in this thread.
