National Intelligence Agency

The National Intelligence Agencys' only appearance on 24 was during the game. After the raid on CTU, Peter Madsen, who at the time was holding Kim Bauer hostage, realised that Kim was smart enough to have encrypted the hard drive. Peter called Jack and told him that there are only 2 places in Los Angeles that have access to the decryption software he needs to decrypt the hard drive.

Peter forces Jack to enter the Agency. Jack replies:
 * "This is a high security building, they'll never let me in."
 * Madsen replies with "Well you're gonna have creative, aren't you Jack."

Jack acquires a pass under the false pretense that he is David Linnell, part of an inter-agency tour group. Whilst being shown through the NIA, Madsen forces to steal an ID card from one of the staff lockers, add the name on his badge to the list on the security manager's computer, take down and hide the body of a guard for his keycard (and stun gun), download the decryption software (named "43PROG.DCR"), and steal a sat-link cable from the equipment room. He then had to hook his PDA into the base terminal of a satellite dish on the roof and upload the software Madsen through a series of frequencies he entered into his PDA.

It must be noted that the emblem of NIA is extremely close to that of the CIA. But instead of a bald eagle's upper body with a shield and a star, it has the eagle on top of what appears to be the White House.
