NSA Chief to Hackers: Don't Like Our Surveillance Programs? Build a Better One

Writer: OurStudioOurStudio

The head of the U.S. National Security Agency defended the government's much-criticized surveillance program against hecklers among a crowd of computer systems analysts Wednesday, but also had a challenge for them: If you don't like it, lend your talent to build a better one.
