If they just hired these folks from college they have NO experience and NO training in security. Degree programs are focused on correcting programing errors - not on gathering evidence of a hack.

Further, starting salaries are sub $40K. I don't know anyone in the industry who I would call a security expert making less than $80 K (military personnel excepted).

Congress needs to authorize the FBI to hire civilian firms, deputize them and have them perform these functions.

Well, if you're right, that sort of salary will attract some pretty weak "experts."

But, then again, half the people in any teen chat room are cops, it seems, trolling for child porn abusers.
