I know it's a bit childish, but for my pseudonymous Google account, I kept getting these notices that they were going to disable my Google+ account unless I gave them my real name, unless I could show them documentation proving that the pseudonym was my legal name, so I just found some pictures of middle fingers and that sort of thing and photoshopped them onto a photo of a license and submitted that. They give you a few chances to submit something, so I had a little fun picking out new insulting pictures for a while, until I got bored of it (which was almost instantly).
Obviously it wasn't going to have any effect other than to virtually flip off some random person being paid to check IDs, but it was at least cathartic in the face of such a stupid, stupid policy.
I've always liked just making an image with some leaked-but-still-technically-classified information, on the (admittedly very unlikely) off chance that someone with clearance might see it and have to get themselves debriefed.
You should know that's a federal crime, if you're talking about leaked U.S. classified material. Simply because you see the Washington Post printing Snowden's leaks doesn't mean handling and distributing classified information isn't a crime. It is still classified and carries full force even though it has been printed; no "cat out of the bag" defense applies.
Very importantly, I'm not stating an opinion on this legal situation, just pointing it out.
100% Incorrect. If the OP has a security clearance, then maybe... At most he is probably in violation of the NDA he signed, not any criminal laws. To actually violate the criminal statues around Leaking classified material you have to CAUSE ACTUAL HARM to the US government.
The original leaker obviously causes harm, but the guy submitting a public document to Google for fun....that's going to be hard for a judge to believe.
It's remotely feasible that a person without a security clearance could be convicted of a crime for re publishing classified documents, but it would have to be some very odd situation.
