This is pure speculation: if someone worked on some kind of communication involving nuclear missiles, they might work for the NSA and have Q. But otherwise I can’t think of a reason they would. That said, NSA is a world almost wholly unknown to me
- klyrs 5y agoWhat I know: clearance is compartmentalized. The NSA's mandate is both to break foreign crypto, and protect sensitive communication. That includes, possibly, the means to break domestic communication about, well, anything, including nukes. The laws and policies regarding this are, themselves, secret. There's even a secret court. The existence of these secret courts and secret laws has recently been affirmed as legitimate by the supreme court. So, no shit you're speculating, and I very well may have been lied to by the person attempting to recruit me to the NSA. I didn't want to live in secrecy; soon thereafter, Thomas Drake's reports confirmed my suspicion that the NSA wasn't as white-hat as I'd been told.
