One of the problems in government is that most of the so-called experts on cybersecurity know nothing about computer programming. They couldn't do 10 Let y=1+1 20 Print y.

But they can fill their schedules with staff meetings to discuss the venue for the next international conference on cybersecurity. That is because they are SESs with special deep knowledge in how to run government departments. Oh and they were loyal to the deep state.

My mother-in-law once worked for an Egg producer in NE Florida. The company was sold to a new owner that decided to shut the plant down and consolidate elsewhere.

I work in cyber security and agree 100% with your assessment. I have often felt that both Secret Service and FBI need to have a program where they can deputize professionals in the field and call on them as needed.
