She is a high school student.
When we are having a conversation about anything that might be considered controversial related to the government, she takes her phone out of her pocket and says something like:
"It's not very nice for you to be listening to our conversations Fred. Why don't you go get a cup of coffee or something and come back in a few minutes. We'll be done by then"
She does this without unlocking her phone.
If she is with some one that has never heard her do it, they always ask: who's Fred?
"Oh, he's my friend at the NSA. He hears everything."
It is hilarious, and usually gets a laugh.
But, there is some dark sarcasm at work there, and reminds you every once in a while what our nations federal agencies have become.
