Fort Meade is the Army's third-largest installation, the size of a small city, with a population equal to Bowie's. The complex ballooned in recent years, both from growth at longtime tenant agencies and from the base realignment and closure process known as BRAC, which moved about 5,700 jobs to the base. BRAC ended just over a year ago.

The installation expanded so fast, in fact, that base officials can't say with complete certainty just how much. They're confident that about 56,000 people work on the base nowadays. But the estimated 30,000 jobs in 2007 probably was an undercount, said Chad Jones, a spokesman for the base.

For an intelligence agency, that's pretty bad!

From DHS/TSA - well, those are studies in incompetence, so expected. But NSA??? WTF???

One should never over-estimate the competence of government.

Yeah, right...

Bullshit.

It ballooned because there is a War on Us.

Keeping 330 million people under total surveillance is a big job.
