NSA Has a Technology Transfer Program
The National Security Agency has established a formal technology transfer mechanism for openly sharing technologies with the external community. Our scientists and engineers, along with our academic and research partners, have developed cutting-edge technologies, which have not only satisfied our mission requirements, but have also served to improve the global technological leadership of the United States. In addition, these technical advances have contributed to the creation and improvement of many commercial products in America.

I like item 24: Tape Dispenser
One that missed the list:
Coffee mug – Knowing what our nation’s intelligence agencies drink could aid our enemies in the war on terror. With the new security-enhanced coffee mug, the contents of the mug remain secret and secure. Is it coffee? Or maybe it’s tea? Perhaps even… water. Never again release sensitive beverage information to untrusted entities.
