NSA UNIVERSITY SNOOPING: DOES THE NSA OPERATES COVERT FACILITIES AT UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND AND OTHER AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES?

Does the National Security Agency run covert facilities at the University of Maryland or any other U.S. university?

There is information that one such facility may be involved in data mining to gain insight into what people are thinking, among other potentially intrusive programs. Edward Snowden, the whistleblower behind the NSA surveillance revelations, told the London Guardian newspaper that he previously worked as a security guard for what the publication carefully described as “one of the agency’s covert facilities at the University of Maryland.”
