Liberty Maniacs is a merchandising company known for taking smart and snarky digs at the government
.....
Not surprising then was the company's recent decision to make a product line that parodied the dreaded NSA. Liberty Maniacs' new line of merchandise carries the official agency seal, edited to read, "Peeping While You're Sleeping," along with the slogan, "The NSA. The Only Part of the Government That Actually Listens."
....
The NSA seal is protected by Public Law 86-36, which states that it is not permitted for “…any person to use the initials ‘NSA,’ the words ‘National Security Agency’ and the NSA seal without first acquiring written permission from the Director of NSA.”
It also claimed it didn't contact Zazzle about Liberty Maniacs' products in particular, but confirmd its policy is to take "appropriate measures" against any attempts to co-opt their agency logo.
