President Barack Obama has decided to let the National Security Agency announce when a major flaw has been found in Internet Security. They think that it is better to make everyone aware of the problem so that they can fix it quicker and more efficient. They want to make people aware if there is a Cyber attack so that they identify and fix the problem.
Is this just another way for the N.S.A. to get more information from the citizens?
Do you thin that they should let people know when there is a major security breach over the internet?
Would it be "ok" to use it for military use like they did to Iran?
I feel that they should let people know when there is a major breach for their personal information.

I agree with you Mike. As long as President Obama stays within the confines of the expectations he laid out for the N.S.A.
I can understand why the National Security Council feels that the process is biased toward responsibly disclosing these vulnerabilities. There will always be issues with encryptions and cyber operations especially in this day and age when everything is put out there and shared online.
Everyone should have the right to know that the N.S.A. is fixing the flaws that are negatively affecting people and continue to explain the measures being taken to fix the issues.
Keeping everyone in the loop will not only prevent cyber attacks or espionage, but it will make citizens more comfortable and confident in our U.S. security systems.
