    The US has looked over its OPM files to find people who can fill its new Cyber Command from all sections of the US mil/gov and its many contractors.
    After sorting for the optics of demographics and considering equality of outcome a new US command was created.
    Fill in a questionnaire, pass the biographical screening and become a cyber expert.

    Its the 1983 way of thinking. Every bad person has to have an ip. At the end of that is an ISP and a modem.
    Thats the way networks are created. In the 1980's and now in 2018.
    Beyond that modem is a home computer with a ssd in 2018. All the US cyber experts have to do is follow the network back to a bad home computer in a bad nation.
    Push some new and unexpected gov malware down to that home computer and its a happy cyber ending.

    The CIA and MI6 assured the US government that freedom would spread quickly and fully all over China in the 1980's.
    That free trade would change China and that democracy would move into China under the cover of free trade.
    The West invested fully and China simply took the tech for free.

    Re "standard check is a court-issued warrant"
    US citizen? Get a warrant.
    Not a US citizen? Release the CIA, GCHQ, NSA...

    The part the US police and investigators have a problem with is going to court and telling at the US court system who they want to track.
    Why are the US state and federal task forces domestically so in need of having to go around the US court system?
    Do the state and federal law enforcement know something about what happens when a court order is approved to log and track?
    Is someone giving secure police database information away to other nations, faith groups and criminals in real time about what US telco equipment/network just got a warrant approved?

    The US gov like it that way going back to the 1970's when the USA split China from close deals with the Soviet Union.
    For that to work China got a lot of US tech for free. US brands got invited into China. Low tax, low wages. Production lines that could make a profit with every generation of tech.
    The only trick was the USA would have to transfer the tech production methods so the new factories in China could make the most profit.
    To share everything the US brand had created with a local partner in a Communist nation.
    No tech transfer, no production line. The US brands opted to invest in 1970-80's China rather that much more secure and pro US nations with the same wages.
    Now China understands the US tech it wants to export everything under its own Communist brands at full price to the world.

    Make sure the person is listed on other databases in the nation. A legal citizen enjoys a free education. Illegal citizens using fake paperwork get detected.
    So a smart person does not take a test for another person.
    A student takes their exams and a university can be confident the results match the student.
    A university can be assured their intake of students can study, all passed the same tests to a set standard and are educatable.
    This will ensure every student that graduates from a US university got a great education and is able to be hired given the qualifications presented.

  22. Lets stop the few big search engines from displaying the needed search results to find any such networks.
    When nobody can find the open networks, then the wide open IoT networks are not going to be accessed.

    Nobody can design their own internet search engine to scan global networks.
    Even if some smart person could design the method to run their own search engine they could not buy the bandwidth needed.
    A person with the smarts and bandwidth would need a lot of time to collect such IoT data globally.
    No search results and security is improved for all...
    Stop collecting any IoT related network results.
