except at the NSA

If you work at the NSA, aren't you supposed to pretend afterwards that you didn't? Explain the hole in your CV some other way? Or is that no longer the custom?

That was years ago. I think that changed in the eighties. You can't list classified publications on your CV, or explain what you did, which is still a problem, and a big reason why I left 20 years ago. Ironically, I probably would have more unclassified publications by now if I'd stayed.
