The Naval Support base in Bethesda was just the "entry point" to the chain of calls - note he was asked to then ask for a sequence of additional people/lines to get to his eventual contact. Probably those reroutes were to separate facilities, eventually landing at "Dave" with the National Security Agency.
- dragontamer 8y agoRead the article carefully. > Dave told me he was with the NSA in Bethesda — the National Security Agency. So did DAVE say he was with "National Security Agency", or did Dave only say "I'm with the NSA in Bethesda", and then the author misinterpreted the claim? I 100% believe the mysterious man said "I'm Dave from the NSA in Bethesda". But what I DON'T believe, is that Dave is with the National Security Agency. I believe "Dave" is from the Naval Support Activity in Bethesda. EDIT: Although the article seems to say that they were really interested in breaking his encryption. Which seems like a "real NSA" thing to do. EDIT2: Regardless, it was an entertaining read.
