A general problem w/any intel oriented group - they value their informants more than your safety. It takes a long time to get a good source.
It’s a similar mentality to gov folks wanting back doors into your devices and software. It gives them great monitoring ability even though it exposes you to intrusion from other hostiles.
AND similar to those gov folks that think only the gov should have guns.
Which means they exist for themselves, and not for good of the public. Seems to me they've made the same pathetically stupid mistake as most government agencies - recruiting clueless self-centered snots from ‘name’ universities. That's a proven formula for disaster, and has been shown to be so over and over again.
