“The NSA has become too big and too powerful. What was supposed to be a single agency with a dual mission — protecting the security of U.S. communications and eavesdropping on the communications of our enemies — has become unbalanced in the post-Cold War, all-terrorism-all-the-time era . . . . The result is an agency that prioritizes intelligence gathering over security, and that’s increasingly putting us all at risk. It’s time we thought about breaking up the National Security Agency.” **Bruce Schneier** at [CNN.Opinion](http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/20/opinion/schneier-nsa-too-big/index.html) with practical suggestions for reform.
