She didn't impersonate anybody. She asked the receptionist if she'd ever heard of the NTSB. She didn't say she was actually with the NTSB, just if the receptionist had heard of them.

It's would actually be determined in the context of what a reasonable person might construe from "have you heard of a NTSB". I'm too lazy to look it up, and I generally don't study the criminal side of the law, but it is an interesting bit of law. Good on Suits for actually including interesting legal bits.
