Took me a minute to parse the headline.
The article seems to be about the podcast the nsa puts on.
And maybe about how the agency’s own rules acknowledge that smart phone tracking and text messages are both a security nightmare. (It’s not possible to really secure either one).
Shouldn’t our national security agency try to protect us by working to fix the critical security vulnerabilities Americans face? Not gleefully working to subvert what little security is possible? Whatever, we’ve known for decades that they’re the villains.
I’m not going to bother with reading the paywalled article, but here’s an archive link in case anyone cares.

As someone said when the Snowden archives were published, "Nobody wants to be on the blue team anymore. Everybody wants to be on the red team." Whatever goodwill the US population still had towards the NSA ended with Snowden.
