Do we need the NSA?

Simply changing the optics doesn't change the vision of those running the joint ... it only gives them more cover.

To be fair, I did intend that, in this scenario, they would have to give up the absurdly-large scale (over a billion spied on at one time, if the Snowden cables mean anything) spying, and the name change would have to be part of a larger cleanup. I'm sorry I didn't make that clear.

       Even if you were to try to clean their name the damage has been done. If you were hired to help clean the Ku Klux Clans image, you would be foolish to even attempt it and your name would also be tied to them as well. The only way for the N.S.A to clean their image would be on live T.V or a stream to destroy all the files on everyone they monitored, and release all of their methods used to allow tech company's to better protect their customers. When I mean destroy, I mean every server, every filing cabinet by means of a EMP bomb. After that drop high explosives to make sure that files and servers are destroyed. Then only allow U.N tech inspectors to make sure that everything is gone. That would been a great T.V special to watch.

      If this was to happen, there would have to be a new bill that does not allow for monitoring of any one, without a supreme court order. Then you have to set-up a third party that is not government affiliated to keep close watch on every aspect of any agent keeping tabs on someone. I know it seems s lengthy approach to a problem. But, after this massive process is done that is when a lot of us would feel safe again.
