CSIA isn't part of NSA. It's part of Homeland Security.

That's probably worse for doing anything technical. NSA has a track record of solving hard problems. Homeland Security is a collection of police departments gathered together for political reasons.

There are a lot of things to do outdoors around Maryland: there are a lot really good MTB (or just hiking) places, like Rockburn and Patapsco State Park; beaches are within two hours away; ski / snowboarding places within two hours away; and then there's the Chesapeake Bay.

It's not California, but it's nothing either.
