The National Security Association is a program that the American government uses to meddle in other countries and even the United States of America. The National Security Association was founded on November 4, 1952 by President Harry Truman. This program helped crack Japanese and German codes during World War II (NSA FAQ). The NSA has beefed up its technology department and adapted to modern technology after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. This is effective because the government can intercept more information faster and much more efficiently. The National Security Association is part of the American Code Breakers Association.
