@CedricLeighton on Expansion of #NSA

COL. CEDRIC LEIGHTON, retired USAF Colonel, weighed in on whether the NSA has gotten too big as a result of the new technology since 2005, and explained to Brian what the NSA has been trying to accomplish.  “So basically what NSA has done… is expand its mission into the cyber realm in a way that was in response, first of all, to the 9/11 attacks, but also was designed to counter the threats that are out there electronically as well as specifically on the Internet,” Leighton explained.
