Here is a good look at the project from a few different perspectives. It is
a somewhat popular story within the various intelligence communities that
can probably still cause arguments. They gathered so many tapes it took
tears to through them, and a lot of people believe the Russians knew about
it the whole time,
I don't think No Such Agency was around yet. It's a good read, enjoy!

very interesting reading
If you want to see a great example of why it was important, check out the
so-called 'Berlin Tunnel':

Some of the traffic that was intercepted was teletype traffic - which had
been encrypted. However, the equipment that connected the gear to the line
allowed a tiny electronic whisper of the original plain-text onto the line,
along with the encrypted form, and it was possible to read the plaintext
off
the line with suitable gear.
