NSA and CIA do not do law enforcement. NSA uses marines for the real security and they have rentacops for the mundane stuff. I was really surprised at the seeming lack of security at Langley. They used to just turn me loose in the building but all the doors had combination locks on them. I imagine it is all biometric by now. I understood there was at least one camera on me all the time. At NSA it was a lot more overt. A marine with a condition 1 .45 had his finger in my belt loop the whole time I was there. I was treated almost the same way last time I was at NSA, and I was wearing LTC rank. NSA is one of those places that has exactly zero respect for a clearance from anywhere else. All clearances are location specific, that is why you see guys at the Pentagon with a half dozen badges around their neck but NSA is an extra level of scrutiny from all of them. I really had no interest in working at CIA or NSA but I did have to go in now and then on a support call. They always gave me a little phone interview before I even started driving there and they called back to say it was OK after they checked me out. One time I told the NSA guy "hey this is Greg, don't you recognize my voice"? He didn't get the joke. At the time I was working for the Army Concepts Analysis Agency (now the Center for Army Analysis) and that badge got me in most places - but it didn't phase NSA. -- Guns don't cause problems.

I'll be sure to tell the buyer the next time I see him that you think he is a rent-a-cop, and not a sworn federal LEO. Gee, the Staties were impressed enough with his credential, but, hey, what could they know compared to a mustered out old IBM techie guy whose knowledge base of security in DC is how many years out of date? Which agency did he work for? There are plenty of federal LEOs, I know a few, I just never heard of the CIA or NSA police. One of the three initial jobbies, but not the FBI. Maybe DHS? I only got a quick glance at his credential. He was well known by the two Statie duty officers at the desk. No charge for the transfer except the $10 state check...no FFL fee. -- Proud to be a Liberal. |
