Boing Boing readers may have missed this on Digg, but I thought they'd get a kick out of it: Link.

In a press pic of Bush touring sooper sekrit NSA headquarters, a way cool, wargames-looking big screen display is in the background with all sorts of cryptic worldwide threat intel: Link.

But that's actually a volunteer-run computer security portal that anyone can display through a web browser: Link to SANS.org
(Ed. note: SANS, btw, does not stand for "Sekrit-Ass-NSA-Stuff.").

Click here to launch your own NSA Global Threat Display. I'm so leet, I have it running on LCD #4 right now!
