    Or you know maybe we can demand that this unit actively try to help these companies improve the security of everything in the catalog so that we are all secure. Knowingly allowing vulnerabilities to persist in equipment that a US citizen or US corporation purchases from companies like Juniper Networks or Cisco is akin to leaving them unprotected and defenseless against malicious adversaries. We're not asking for disarmament. We're asking for de-weaponization by retasking the TAO and the unit that produces these products to work on defensive activities instead of offensive activities. For a long time many, except those considered tin-foil hatters, viewed the NSA as fundamentally providing a useful service to protect Americans and American companies. Now it's clear the tin-foil hatters were right and that the NSA is essentially an offensive organization and that even American citizens and companies are victims of those offensive capabilities.
