Not threatening enough, I think. It points up the uselessness and probable
ineptitude nicely.

I was thinking more along the lines of a guy smiling slightly and nodding,
like you would if you were listening to a friend complain about his boss or
sports team or whatever. Connected, of course, to people on the phone or on
their computers. Maybe imply that the NSA guy is listening in on a board
room discussion. Alas, I can't make such a poster myself. My talents,
manifold and awe-inspiring though they be, are not strong in the area of
graphic arts.
