There has been a "security incident" at the entrance to the NSA's headquarters in Fort Meade, Maryland:

Several people have been injured and a suspect was taken into custody after a car crashed outside the US National Security Agency's headquarters.

Gunfire rang out after the black SUV approached the facility in Fort Meade, Maryland, without authorisation.

An NSA spokesman said it was unclear if the shots had been fired by law enforcement officers or the suspect, adding that the scene was now secure.

    It's a lot easier to make someone forget their ethics if they feel threatened.
    Few people enter the TLAs expecting to massively monitor their fellow citizens. You have to convince them that it's the right thing to do.

      [cue orchestral patriotic music in crescendo]

      support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me

      ... and help the US get revenge on those commies/muslim/spy_chinks/terrorists bastards!
