Re: One!...More!!..TIME!!!...
While that's an excellent idea, the way things are now the implementation would put 2 agencies in direct opposition to each other and neither would do anything of note except squabble, blame each other for failures, and waste massive amounts of tax dollars. Come to think of it, we (the US) does have a cybersecurity military command that's pretty useless due to manpower.
While I'm against blanket snooping, trolling, etc. I could see that this could be used WITH a subpoena much like a wire-tap back in the analog phone days. It would make massive slurps unnecessary and only allow the court (court, not a politician) to approve it. If the agencies had to pinpoint who they were listening to and justify it, then it might be a better use of their assets. As it is now, meh.... waste of time and money.. too much data, too little payback.
If the pinpoint snooping (subpoenaed wire taps) were permitted, then maybe a cybersecurity agency would work if the agency could afford to hire decent people.
