The National Security Agency, better known as the NSA, has always been a vital asset for the United States. Ever since its inception in 1962 by then-President, Harry S.

A key point that I took away from this video is with the Presidents opening statement, “In a few minutes, I will sign into law the most dramatic reform of our nation's intelligence capabilities since President Harry S.

One of these security agencies is the National Security Agency, or NSA. “By 2008, the NSA had become the largest, most costly, and most technologically sophisticated spy organization the world has ever known” (Bamford 1).

According to Snow “The Cold War presented the United States an apparently permanent military enemy for the first time since the rivalry with Great Britain was resolved after the war of 1812.” (Snow, page 83) This gave way to the idea of national security being a strong focal point of the American agenda.

Privacy versus national security has multiple differences and similarities. It’s been a discussion amongst people for decades. But has recently grown popularity on the discussion board over the topic of one of the most well-known technology brands that I’m sure most us know called “Apple”.
