Maybe not so Area 51-ish? A bit of a long read, but very enlightening.

"Edward Snowden revealed the agency’s phone-record tracking program. But thanks to 'precomputed contact chaining,' that database was much more powerful than anyone knew."

My former father in law was a network engineer for a company that had contracts with the Federal government and spent a lot of time underground at Ft Meade working on projects he couldn't talk about.

My understanding is that the NSA is building or has finished building large complex over in Augusta.
 
Secret Tool? That's funny. Over a million and a half people in the U.S. have top secret clearance.

Please show me a group of one and half million people who can keep a secret.

I think, when God was working during those first six days, he had just finished the platypus, the penguin and the kangaroo, and he thought..."How can I top these? Oh, I know, I'll call it government!"
 
The thing about Security Classifications is that just having one doesn't guarantee access to information.

When I was in the business of not sharing information with people we had a checklist/mantra.

Do they have proper identification?

Do they have proper clearance?

Do they have a Need To Know?

If the answer to any of these questions was "no", then that individual was not given access to that information and/or location.
