I think evoking the DHS actually undermines the argument of needing yet another cabinet-level agency. I don't know of anybody who interacts with the TSA that thinks of them as the best and brightest. And how many of these defense and security organizations do we need? At what point do they again start stepping on each others toes and/or conversely failing to share critical data and processes? Given that computers and technology have woven themselves so deeply into our daily lives, I'm not sure it makes much sense to pretend that "cyber" is something that can be isolated and dealt with in a single unified manner. If it gets dealt with at all. I think a big part of the problem with cybersecurity is that nobody seems willing to get "tough on crime" when it comes to new innovations. Companies get away with murder (literally, in the case of Uber) without serious consequences from existing agencies that should be overseeing them. Forgive me if I don't see more toothless red tape as the way to change that for the better. f978952087f5f691d93245f671d5107148961c56fff22f1f7b785eacb87e8cef
