The fact that agents don't understand they are trusting T-Mobile with sensetive data in the clear, and that T-Mobile does NOT make any security promises means that they are not properly staffed or trained or disciplined. Obviously the answer is to hire criminals. Real criminal activity is the primary credential for a computer crime wet agent. First, they know you aren't as dumb as someone who trains their whole life in "cop culture" to be an agency stiff. Second, criminal candiates, they have their thumb on you so they don't have to pay you what you're worth to them.
I want to puke.
