Excuse me sir. NSA is the organization that manages and executes the national intelligence discipline for SIGINT. Both FBI and CIA use it, and everyone else consumes the information derived from their platforms.

If your problem is with DHS, that's a whole different story. But to say the US is better off without SIGINT is utterly ridiculous, tantamount to saying, "We accept fighting blind-folded."

Now go back and read your response: You are pissed at accountability, and rightly you should be. But that is a voter and public policy issue.

Very well and intelligent said!

I never said we were better off without SIGINT. I questioned the constitutionality of the NSA.

SIGNIT should be the CIA’s job and should be CLOSELY supervised so our protectors don’t become our captors. How many intelligence agencies do we need? Also, the NSA is part of the unconstitutional Federal Administrative/Regulatory System - the unconstitutional fourth branch of the feds.
