My comment was primarily about the aesthetics of the NSA. They don't seem to bother with trying to appear good or friendly.

The building is the opposite of nondescript. A 30-story building in Manhattan with no windows stands out a lot more than if they dressed it up with windows.
I also happen to think the NSA should be completely disbanded and replaced with an agency which solely focuses on international espionage.
Its portably more a telco thing some of the uk's big telecoms buildings are butt ugly. Baynard House and the main lab building at martesham in particular.
One American burst out "its a f&^king prison" when he visited martelsham.
