"The challenge is getting the sigint community to see that."

When you're in a USG agency half of which is dedicated to infiltrating computers and computer networks to extract data it's very uncomfortable to realize that the best target for your work is in fact the Unite States.

So best not to think about it at all.

In terms of coverage the US is probably one of the best nations on Earth (except possibly Finland with 2 mobiles per person?) for the NSA to spy on.

But they couldn't find Bin Laden for a decade.
