The NSA (http://mashable.com/category/nsa/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) used to be wrapped in a cloak of mystery. Some still even refer to it as "** Such Agency." And, up until recently, very few journalists had any idea what was going on behind the reflective ******* of its headquarters in Fort Meade, Md

In the past few months it has done so more than ever before, albeit a bit reluctantly.

Heck, the NSA's deputy director even spoke (http://mashable.com/2014/03/21/nsa-ideas-ted/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) at TED.
