From the National Security Agency Act of 1959 [1]:<p><pre><code> Sec. 15. (a) No person may, except with the written permission of the Director of the National Security Agency, knowingly use the words &#x27;National Security Agency&#x27;, the initials &#x27;NSA&#x27;, the seal of the National Security Agency, or any colorable imitation of such words, initials, or seal in connection with any merchandise, impersonation, solicitation, or commercial activity in a manner reasonably calculated to convey the impression that such use is approved, endorsed, or authorized by the National Security Agency. </code></pre> Up to the Supreme Court whether or not it&#x27;s in accord with the First Amendment. Either way, using the word &#x27;squash&#x27; to describe a cease-and-desist letter strikes me as a bit inflammatory.<p>[1]: <a href="http://www.intelligence.senate.gov/nsaact1959.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.intelligence.senate.gov&#x2F;nsaact1959.htm</a>
