Last week's The Tek episode talked about NSA surveilance and the massive irony of US Senators getting mad at being spied upon by the CIA.

Senator Feinstein is pissed now that the intelligence community is treating the Senate the same way it treats the citizens.

Congrats on the 100th episode! (I'm a week late, but still)
