There are sixteen intelligence agencies listed for America. They include the following:

• Office of the Director of National Intelligence
• Independent agencies
  • Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
• United States Department of Defense
  • Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)
  • National Security Agency (NSA)
  • National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)
  • National Reconnaissance Office (NRO)
  • Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency (AFISRA)
  • Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM)
  • Marine Corps Intelligence Activity (MCIA)
  • Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI)
• United States Department of Energy
  • Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence (OICI)
• United States Department of Homeland Security
  • Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A)
  • Coast Guard Intelligence (CGI)
• United States Department of Justice
  • Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
  • Drug Enforcement Administration, Office of National Security Intelligence (DEA/ONSI)
• United States Department of State
  • Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR)
• United States Department of the Treasury
  • Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI)^[15]

What is of most interest to me are the patches from the NRO which include many images from mythology.  Look into their patches.

Another interesting thing to note is the members of the movie industry who have worked for the NSA or as an American spy including Wanda Sykes and Julia Child.
