National security agency unveils classified dating app: 'StripR'

Filed · 1536

FORT MEADE, Md. —The National Security Agency has announced their latest tech innovation, a dating app which runs on classified networks named StripR.

Developers explained that many agency analysts work all day in secure buildings and cannot use regular websites or apps to arrange local hook-ups. StripR's creators hope to “spread the love to intelligence analysts, cyber-warriors, and even lonely janitors within the NSA.”

The app is similar to existing apps such as Tinder™. But instead of swiping left or right, users can choose to insert their CAC card if they are attracted to a potential date.
