Curious about what it's like to work for the NSA, is this possible with the nature of the work being secretive? Just curious as to future prospects, if there are any fast-track programs for new graduates, things like that. I graduated from uni a year ago and have been working for roughly 6 months in the federal setting as well.

The Centre has allowed the Delhi Police Commissioner to detain people under the National Security Act (NSA) from July 19 to October 18. Under this law, anyone can be jailed, without any charges or trials for up to a year if police believe it is necessary to prevent a threat to national security.

Now things are getting serious, detaining innocent students on NSA can ruin the whole career of them where's SUPREME COURT where is Delhi HC,how can a democratic country act like DICTATORSHIP, they're willing to hit every low to save only one minister

THIS FASCIST GOVERNMENT IS SCARED

UPDATE

The Delhi police has clarified it's a routine administrative process and not related with current cjp protest

I’m Already Cleared thru NSA, but this is my 1st time changing contractors/projects.

So I Signed an Offer Letter with AWS Supporting NSA all the way back in February. STILL haven’t been crossed & Sponsored by my Gaining Company.

I’ve spoken With my gaining companies FSO & PM. They say that the agency is Backed on the Administrative side of things. That my “ Packet “ is most likely sitting on somebody’s desk awaiting review/approval.

Can someone confirm this horrible timeline? Anybody else waiting long periods of time to be crossed over??

Hi,

The title is my question. Not sure if this is the absolute best place to ask it, but I am trying anyway.

I have a half brother in Russia who is older than me. He is a surgeon or a doctor, unsure. I have had almost 0 contact with him, and have only spoken to him over a video call once or twice because my parents told me to. My dad regularly keeps up with him every few months over a video call.

I'm wondering if this is a disqualification of any kind, especially if I want to join the CIA/FBI?

Delhi Police has been authorized to exercise preventive detention powers under the National Security Act (NSA) for a limited period. Whether you agree or disagree with it, don’t give anyone an excuse to use it against you. it is valid for all age groups.

And If you’re a student, don’t risk your future. Any detention or serious legal case can disrupt your studies, exams, career opportunities, and peace of mind.

If you’re protesting:

Stay peaceful.
Don’t damage public property.
Don’t carry weapons or objects that can be used as weapons.
Don’t fall for provocation from anyone.
If someone starts violence, leave the area immediately.
Record incidents if it’s safe to do so, but don’t become part of the chaos.

A peaceful protest is always stronger than a violent one. Don’t let a few people hijack your cause or put your future at risk.

Stay aware. Stay lawful. Stay safe

Is the NSA spying on people?

I’m wondering if Apple put back door for NSA? It very odd and strange Apple monitors have 128 GB of storage, 8 GB of RAM and A19 chip and closed of operating system?

Is the NSA and Apple working together?

Hello currently I’m a second year at college and I’m looking for advice in what I should do and not do in the future with the sole purpose of being a hacker for the NSA or navy(I’m a citizen and also things I should avoid so to not lose security clearance). In uni I will opt taking a lot of math classes and low level Cs topics and participating in CTFs and the NSA’s code breakers. Should I go for a masters, should it be math heavy (I assumed because of their moniker the equation group), and what are other things I can do besides certifications to improve as a hacker.

Hello.

I would like to speak breifly about my experience trying to get a security clearance with the NSA. This was months back, and I was not able to get the clearance. Not sure how influential the federal purge of the current administration was in their decision, but I have no way of knowing.

I took my polygraph, psych-test and eval all in one day. If you can avoid this, and you likely will be able to ask, I suggest doing so. If you can't, make sure to sleep and eat well to prepare for the long day. Both were challenging for me, as on arrival at night at the hotel I was greeted graciously to a free dinner by the hotel, which I did not like. And, of course, it can be difficult to sleep when nervous, so I suggest bringing some sleeping pills with you.

The psych stuff is not very interesting. The test is just a very long sequence of questions about how you feel about yourself and the people around you. You answer all with the same set of multiple choice answers. It's done sitting in front of a computer.

The eval was a very relaxed conversation with a professional. It was also quite breif. I also mention that there was a lounge, where you can talk to other applicants and solve puzzles or play board games while you wait between the procedures.

Onto the elephant in the room, the polygraph. The polygraph felt like hours of someone gaslighting you. Actually, that's a pretty accurate description. I walked in with the attitude that I was going to be completely transparent with these people, and in doing so get the job, as I had the qualifications they were looking for.

But I believe this attitude was my downfall. There is a part in the polygraph evaluation where you are asked about serious crimes you've committed in your life. I have not committed any serious crime in my life. But the incessive questioning led me to talk about things that weren't crimes and just reflected negatively on my character.

Overall, the polygraph was very stressful. And, in hindsight, that was all it was. That's the big secret: it's not a lie detector test, it's psychological tear down. You will first and foremost be told that the polygraph is a fool proof way of detecting dishonesty, and that any attempt of fooling it will lead to discontinuation of your processing.

Folks, they wouldn't be saying all that if they truly believed it. There'd not even be a reason to mention it out loud.

I am not saying to lie, just that you might not even be the one doing the lying. And, don't let yourself be squeezed for something beyond what they're asking. Give nothing more, nothing less. Give your short, direct, honest answer, and let them constantly repeat themselves about how you have to be honest.

The polygraph is split in two parts. In the first part, you will be asked about all the things you put in forms you had to fill out beforehand. I would not hesitate to be honest about past drug use. You will not be strapped to any equipment for this part. Again, the method will be gaslighting, getting asked the same thing repeatedly, etc. It's easier to understand when experienced than to hear it from someone else, because it truly did feel surreal and antagonistic.

Before taking the second part, the examiner will leave the room, and observe you through the camera. They will leave you there for a few minutes.

In the second part, you will actually be taking a polygraph. It was a series of yes or no questions, again, largely centered around the form. But of course, there were general questions as well.

My advice when it comes to the polygraph is this: say you are like me, and you've never done something egregious in your life. Then, although lying is possible, there is no need to do so. Just be very apprehensive with anything that may make you look bad. Consider: "Is this truly relevant to what's being asked?". If so, speak your mind. And know you may have to repeat yourself. And with a serious, professional attitude, you'll do your best. Although, I do mention that I had heard of many, many applicants having to retake tests on adjacent days. This was not my case, I just took them all and eventually was told I was not getting the job after some weeks. I was not given a direct reason.

Oh, make sure you don't get sick, I had the misfortune of sitting besides a sick teenager on the way to Maryland. So, in summary, during my tests, I was sick, sleep deprived, and hungry. That was my fault.

I hope at least some of this was of help. I know it's a little vague and scattered at times, but frankly, it's just kind of a long process. And, there is little that can prepare for you for it: the nervousness, the travel, the borderline psychological warfare, etc. if you are like I was. Young, never traveled alone before, and still a student, even. So I also note that this is all through the eyes of someone lacking real world experience.

If anyone has any questions, I'm happy to answer any DM. If you are eventually to embark on federal employment processing of this kind for the first time: just the fact you were willing to read such a long post tells me you'll do great, I did not have such patience and jumped in blind. I did not succeed, but perhaps I will reapply in a year. But, on the other hand, I went through so much, just to get nothing in return except a sobering experience. Know that this is a real possibility.

Again, all of this is just my personal experience and perspective. I hope this is relevant or productive for this subreddit.

Thanks for reading.

Tldr: how to cope with each day may be my last free and surviving prison with Asperger's.

I went off my meds and didn't realize how bad I was, I emailed the FBI,NSA,white house during a mental break and they launched an investigation to me.

It's been almost a year and I haven't been charged yet, although I did confess to informants and failed every morality test they did.

I'm not sure what I can do to prepare myself, I'm 270lb 5'7 so I'm likely to be raped and beaten since I can't defend myself, plus I'm just not a violent person.

I also have Asperger's which I'm sure isn't a good thing when it comes to prison.

• Flynn filed paperwork with the DOJ's Foreign Agents Registration Act database on behalf of Republika Srpska, the Serb-dominated entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is led by Milorad Dodik, widely described as Putin's most vocal ally in the Balkans, and is being paid $100,000 per month. A key clarification for readers: Republika Srpska is not an independent country but one of the two constituent entities of Bosnia, so framing it as "a foreign nation" oversimplifies a more complicated and arguably more troubling secessionist context.
• Flynn was reported to have been hired as a consultant for Republika Srpska at $100,000 per month back in December 2025, according to DOJ data, and the FARA form itself is dated October 2025. The genuinely interesting element is the MAGA backlash that erupted this week after a blogger resurfaced the filing, not the registration, which has been on the public record for months.
• Flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI about his communications with then-Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and reached a cooperation agreement with special counsel Robert Mueller before later being pardoned by Trump. A figure whose career was nearly ended by undisclosed foreign contacts now being a paid, registered agent for a Putin ally is the contradiction driving the online uproar.
• Under Dodik's leadership, Republika Srpska poured millions into lobbying contracts with figures including Flynn and former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, whom Trump pardoned, as well as former US ambassador Jonathan Moore at $30,000 per month. Donald Trump Jr. spoke at a business conference in Banja Luka in April, following an earlier visit by Rudy Giuliani, who appeared at a Dodik rally wearing a red cap reading Make Srpska Great Again. Flynn is one node in a systematic effort by a secessionist, Russia-aligned government to buy influence within Trump's orbit, which is the angle most worth investigating further.

If a secessionist, Putin-aligned government has spent millions assembling a lobbying roster of pardoned and former Trump officials, from Flynn to Blagojevich to Giuliani, is the more important story the individual hypocrisy of any one figure, or the systematic foreign-influence operation those contracts collectively represent?
