Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but, for years I have been saying, "There is no such thing as a secure internet." Cyber has exposed the USA national security as it never has been exposed before. Put people back to work and GET OFF LINE!

The USA is very lucky in that "the old guys" are still around and in retirement. ASK, don't offer, for them to come back and WRITE infrastructure plans the way they remember them. If the OLD BOOKS are around, then all the better, but, put it back together with an offline capacity the way it used to be.
Call in the old operators and managers as consultants. It is just that important.
It doesn't mean the USA has to go back to coal fired boilers either.
There is no such thing as a secure internet.
Here is the secret pass code: Ready?
Edward Snowden
He should have been given amnesty and brought home a long time ago, to run a department exclusively his to promote responsible citizenship.
