You would be recognized inside the NSA, a large technical population.
In addition, as with the CIA and other clandestine US government organizations, they appeal to patriotism and helping the national interest. That appeal seems to be fraying somewhat lately for the NSA.
- vinceguidry 13y agoIf they're really trying to keep it secret, not even the NSA rank and file will know. It's all mostly need to know anyway.

- gizmo686 13y agoI have a friend who interned with the NSA in high school. Although what he did is classified, he was allowed to say that his work got published internally.
