We don't need the NSA. Signal intelligence is great for fighting countries, but it will will fail because terrorists are a tiny minority hiding in a huge sea of humanity. I am all for the CIA and FBI but we just don't need a the huge budget of the NSA for anything right now and because of this they can't really help.

Correction: I have no problem with the NSA building secure systems but that's a tiny fraction of their budget.
