- Around Washington, secretive types who identify
- themselves simply as Defense Department employees are often
- greeted by clerks and waitresses with Oh! You must work for the
- NSA! The National Security Agency, the puzzle palace of U.S.
- intelligence eavesdroppers, has always preferred to stay in the
- shadows. But lately the nsa has been forced to edge into the
- light. NSA recruiters showed up at a mathematics conference in
- Baltimore last month openly seeking specialists in areas like
- numbers theory for code-breaking jobs. Only U.S. citizens need
- apply.
