Cut the CIA Budget and Use the Money to Build 5G Systems

Most of the intelligence community budget pays for electronic eavesdropping, or Signals Intelligence.

The techie equivalent of the Oklahoma Land Rush is underway to embed quantum communications in the new 5G broadband networks under construction around the world.

No doubt Chinese intelligence will use every opportunity at its disposal to steal data, but that's beside the point: No-one will be able to hack the next generation of data networks.

The real disaster in China's domination of 5G isn't data hacking.

A very large number of small, cheap drones acting in concert through Artificial Intelligence systems may be able to defeat everything that presently flies.

So let's cut the intelligence budget to, say, $10 billion a year, and spend the $70 billion we save on creating a superior American 5G product.

Our exhortations to allies not to work with Huawei have been ignored, which is not surprising, because no American company sells 5G systems.
