He says they sent him a blue NSA mug afterwards and "I’ve had that top secret coffee cup for 18 years now. It’s the same one pictured at the top of this article.". The picture of a blue mug on the post says National Security Agency. Hard to imagine one agency pretending to be another like that. Not sure what to make of it.

Those mugs are probably sold at the NSA Gift Shop in the Museum. Its probably the real deal, but anybody can buy them.

If these pranksters were really in Bethesda, it wouldn't take much longer than 40 minutes or so to drive over to "real NSA", buy the mug, and then come back to their office.
