I have worked directly with one of the bidders, won't say which or in what capacity. As far as I'm concerned, this will result in six billion dollars thrown right into a hole, with no enhancement to "cybersecurity." I don't expect anybody to take my statement seriously since I provided no evidence, but I for one now see this as a giant waste of fucking money.
