Mq,

LOL! Thanks, that is definitely one of the "jewels" of your oeuvre. Loved the style, playfulness and verve. Oh so Mq...

BTW, IMVHO, NSA may not be the best way for you to go. I've read the book,
amazon.com
and I have to say, I found the core purpose of NSA to be reading mail. Hardly the derring-do bravura of the James Bond crowd.

Bamford was the chap who introduced me to the remarkable training document called "Operation Northwoods":
Message 17525586
Now, this plan is the essence of derring-do. But you'll notice that it is a Department of Death operating manual, closely emulated in Operation 911, and not an NSA operations manual. They tend to the knitting in a quiet sort of out-of-sight way, except for rare moments when the all of a sudden get caught with their pants down and their signal sniffers and snoopster's knickers in twist:

wrmea.com

ussliberty.org

shreveporttimes.com

amazon.com

Now, the important point I'm trying to make here, as your friend Maurice, is that if you get in a tight spot, as an NSA operative, you can certainly count on King George to engage in a total disinformation campaign of plausible deniability to bury news about you.

Considering that you'd be a working in the rather dishonorable realm of reading other people's mail, gain rank for snitching and most likely have your work effort handed over to U.S. corporations so that they have a competitive advantage over those of the Commonwealth, I hardly see the glory in this for you.

Frankly, I'd think you'd be happier to be with this crowd, who see their work effort gaining notoriety daily:
