NSA says no to Furbies

Seems as though everyone wanted a Furby over Christmas ... everyone, that is, except for the National Security Agency.

The Washington Post reports that the NSA has banned the furry creatures from offices, as it's embedded microchip has the ability to learn and repeat what it hears.

The Furby joins other personal microphones, cameras and related items on the list of things forbidden in NSA spaces.

The Post quotes a Capitol Hill source saying the intelligence community was nervous "that people would take them home and they'd start talking classified."
