We already have one. Look at the NSA's budget. Look at the money being shoveled into Microsoft/Google/Apple. All the people in position to fix things are positively flush with cash.
And off in the corner, a few non-paid developers of F/OSS are creating better security products than all the above combined. Manhattan-style money throwing is not the answer.
And I take issue with the article's depiction of the Manhattan Project. "Those working on the Manhattan Project were dead serious about the threat before them." ... um ya well the vast majority of those working on it had absolutely no idea of what the project was all about. They all operated within a disconnected web of secrecy, not the best model for security imho.
The author "has served as a street police officer, senior adviser to Interpol and futurist-in-residence with the FBI. " He isn't a security professional. And his twitter feed doesn't give the impression of someone with any deep understanding beyond headlines and talking points.
