1. I actually worked at the NSA in 1968. Ask me anything.

Of course, I can't tell you anything, even now, or risk problems.

2. So you can't tell me about the aliens?

[MineralMan]

6. Absolutely not. Now, please look at the wand...

3. USELESS.

Watching the show.

They came to my Univ. to interview prospective 'ees. I said, No Thanks.

4. Another No Such Agencier here

Couple years before you. Heady days in ADVA-1 way back then. (No problem, it was in Bamford book "The Puzzle Palace."

8. We probably would recognize nothing in the building now.

Hell, it was 40 years ago. I hardly remember anything, anyhow. I was still in the USAF when I worked at Ft. Meade.

5. When was the agency around?

And what was the US's big code breaking agency during WWII? Did elements of that evolve into the NSA?
