How about a third agency that focuses on securing our digital infrastructure?
- labster 10y agoThen we'd need a fourth agency to coordinate between them, and don't forget the fifth agency in charge of oversight.
- EGreg 10y agoSounds good to me
- kahnpro 10y agoAnd don't forget to give all the money and power to the offensive agency, while keeping the oversight agency to an intern in a broom closet somewhere.
- Mz 10y agoI actually approve of your plans to keep the oversight agency really minimal. That government is best which governs least.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoHow about NSA just does this, per its name, and the offensive signals intelligence gets handled by the CIA?
- willstrafach 10y agoCIA is primarily HUMINT (and intel triage, covert operations, etc) so their focus is going to be on the end points for individual targets. SIGINT is a gigantic field and a shift like this would essentially just a merger of NSA's SID into CIA while leaving NSA with just IAD. Genuinely curious, what would be the gain in doing that?
