Some of their advice seemed useful but some of their suggestions absurd and conclusions naive. The most interesting thing was that challenging them on their assertions (anti-virus is only n% effective) didn't result in any facts to back up the assertions. Instead they'd just mock the challenger and say things like "no matter what you do we can crack your systems in n minutes, regardless".

In fact one of their suggestions was to simply fire anyone who didn't have like-minded world views. People who didn't just nod along with whatever they had to say were the problem and needed to go. If that's how the intelligence community works I can see why they are in an echo chamber that justifies their any means necessary approach to intelligence gathering.
