Intel is a thankless job; if you keep people safe, nobody knows you are doing anything, but if something happens, you're the first to get blamed. Just because you're ignorant about what people working in various intelligence agencies are doing, doesn't mean they aren't doing anything. I worked in various intel fields for most of my adult life, and it gets tiring to hear that intel agencies don't do anything.
- dv_dt 7y agoThat isn't blaming the Intel agencies for doing nothing, it's blaming them for abridging our freedoms in trade for purported safety.
- ativzzz 7y agoIsn't this analogous to IT security policies in pretty much any company? They get blamed for abridging worker productivity in trade for purported safety.
- darkpuma 7y agoWhat concerns me is not when you and your peers are doing nothing, but when you are doing something.
- ativzzz 7y agoSounds similar to IT. If it works, nobody knows you are doing anything, but if something happens, you're the first to get blamed.
- JudgeWapner 7y agoit gets tiring hearing that you're violating the constitution, spying on girlfriends, or making insider trading tips using your military-grade equipment, but then someone calls you regarding a deranged Florida teenager with a rifle and nobody stops him.
- vangelis 7y agoIntel seem to generate its own trouble. For every real terrorist there's ten autistic teenagers talked into it.
