The NSA: Fostering a New Generation of Codebreakers Posted on May 6, 2006

This is the actual front page image of the U.S. National Security Agency’s kid-friendly portal. |
The presumed new head of the CIA, Gen. Michael Hayden, once ran the National Security Agency. Fine. But check out the home page of NSA’s web site: it’s got a cartoon picture that leads to a kid-friendly site called “Cryptokids: America’s Future Codemakers and Codebreakers.” It’s filled with decryption games and NSA employment resources.
Huh? Cartoons appeal to seven-year-olds. How many of them are going to be surfing the NSA’s web site? And if the agency is trying to recruit high-school studentshttp://www.nsa.gov/kids/, why use a cartoon turtle as your roper?
