>they're cops with too much access, it doesn't take a genius to outsmart a cop

the nsa has an unlimited budget and spend a good portion of that budget recruiting some of the smartest people in the country. while they dont have super powers, they also arent the town cop who took a 6 month course after high school then joined the force.

it does no good to hold them up as mythical figures. it also does no good to pretend they are bumbling idiots.

(every math phd i am acquainted with has been approached by nsa recruiters. none of them have been approached by police agencies.)

Please show me a photo of an NSA car with a light bar on it. They're not cops.
