NSA Risks Talent Exodus Amid Morale Slump and Trump Fears
- caretStick 10y agoPeople, go apply. Think of who is left at the inflection in head count. The most scary outcome for the NSA is having no Snowdens or people loyal to the US instead of a political party. If you're a US citizen and look in the mirror thinking, "Well, I'm not a zealot and would find myself giving resistance pretty quickly if the NSA was being lobbied like a tool," then you're a perfect candidate. Snowden said the salary is high and the work is easy. Would you prefer someone sitting in the PRISM seat who believes we just need to shut up the bleeding hearts and get things done for a few years to #MAGA?
- bediger4000 10y agoIs this necessarily a bad thing? Arguably, the NSA as an institution does unconstitutional things. Breaking it up and sending the resources out into private industry might free a lot of value that nobody would otherwise see, and keep the US government from surveilling its own citizenry and then using the information against citizens.

- aburan28 10y agoThe way they reacted to Snowden brought this upon themselves . Requiring every cyber "warrior" to have a TS//SCI clearance at a minimum rules out 90% of the black/grey hat hackers is absurd
- amalag 10y agoThe TS/SCI is one thing but intelligence agencies also sit on polygraphs. I know of people who had full scope polygraph's which were not adjudicated for 2.5 years. Those people gave up and went elsewhere.
