Daily Cal - National Security Agency staff will visit a camp developed to teach high school students about cybersecurity — hosted for the first time this year by UC Berkeley — this week to evaluate the program and decide whether to continue its funding.
The camp, called CY-BEAR, is part of a system of 43 camps funded by the NSA and the National Science Foundation to fill the “very large” shortage of about 1 million cybersecurity workers needed in both government and industry, according to Steven LaFountain, dean of the NSA’s College of Cyber, a cybersecurity training organization. The program, called GenCyber, began with six camps in 2014 and has since expanded to 18 states and 29 universities.

In a democracy the government should have nothing to hide. That it needs more security says it is doing things that it should not do. If we closed the CIA and NSA we would all be better off and the government could function transparently.
History shows that such spy army can be used by a despot against the very elites who have created it!
One can fill in the blanks about what that means in the past, present and future history
