I literally laughed out loud. Remarkable. Just awesome.

Now all I need is a banner or emblem to certify that my apps are NSA-compliant.

(Realistically, they probably already are.)

Auth could be improved - hasn't somebody leaked an NSA public key from another application that we could install? Other option would be opening it to government IP ranges.

The one-click drone strike is a really great idea! Couldn't be simpler.

It doesn't seem to do anything at the moment though.

It should tweet it and some identifying characteristics that way the NSA can simply use their Twitter integration to locate and destroy the target. No need to make this complicated.

I love the first issue - Add crypto ron's pubkey hehe: https://github.com/goshakkk/nsa_panel/issues/15

No need, they've already done it for you.

Brilliant. About time someone built this.

yes 2 years ago. created soon after the snowden leaks.

Good eye. Either way, it's still funny. :)

Also need a Django plugin for Python
