The most effective actions to defend at home are not related to spy agencies. Rather we should - Stop importing Arabs by the 747 load - Stop invading other nations - Stop stationing troops in 130 nations - Stop meddling in others' affairs - Stop throwing money at foreign corrupticrats - Stop pretending they "hate us for our freedom"-- if that were true, they'd LOVE us by now Problem solved. No need for unconstitutional spook agencies.
