AnonTechie writes "Bruce Schneier: The NSA has become too big and too powerful. What was supposed to be a single agency with a dual mission --protecting the security of U.S. communications and eavesdropping on the communications of our enemies has become unbalanced in the post-Cold War, all-terrorism-all-the-time era. Putting the U.S. Cyber Command, the military's cyberwar wing, in the same location and under the same commander, expanded the NSA's power. The result is an agency that prioritizes intelligence gathering over security, and that's increasingly putting us all at risk. It's time we thought about breaking up the National Security Agency."

    Don't even get me started about their enumeration of techniques for "pulling a group apart". Ratf*cking dirtbags. I'd pull the trigger if I could find em.

    And now we know. Dice Holdings is front for the NSA, and Slashdot beta is their weapon.
