Top Secret America Eyeballs 3

Top Secret America Eyeballs Series: http://cryptome.org//tsa-series.htm

"TSA" indicates Top Secret America: The Rise of the New American Security State, a book by Dana Priest and William M. Arkin.


TSA, Post: To get another view of how sprawling Top Secret America has become, just head west on the toll road toward Dulles International Airport.

As a Michaels craft store and a Books-A-Million give way to the military intelligence giants Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, find the off-ramp and turn left. Those two shimmering-blue five-story ice cubes belong to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which analyzes images and mapping data of the Earth's geography. A small sign obscured by a boxwood hedge says so.

If NGA is a tenant in the building there is no perimeter security customary for spy agency.
A sign at the entrance, cited by Priest above, is obscured in Google Street view, below, on Innovation Drive.
However, a rental advertisement states there is a SCIF in the facility.

TSA, Post: Across the street, in the chocolate-brown blocks, is Carahsoft, an intelligence agency contractor specializing in mapping, speech analysis and data harvesting. Nearby is the government's Underground Facility Analysis Center. It identifies overseas underground command centers associated with weapons of mass destruction and terrorist groups, and advises the military on how to destroy them.
