Absolute Power Corrupts, Absolutely


Pardon the stale quote but it seems to me that Edward Snowden has done this country a service by putting the spot light on an agency gone wild. The NSA's hegemony on our 4th amendment rights comes from a build it because we can attitude that is unconstrained because of secrecy. It's all trust and no verify with the Congress and public so that an awful lot of lines in the sand have been crossed.
I am optimistic when reading “Resume Shows Leaker Honed HackingSkills” in today's New York Times that the NSA has a problem with hacker talent that it may never resolve. That problem being the personality of a good hacker is rebellious and difficult to keep in a box.
