Last night on CNN they tried to say Snowden stole passwords from his manager. They had on the ex-head of the NSA and he was like (paraphrasing), "We don't have any direct confirmation but we must entertain the idea that Showden had outside help. Why else would he go to China?!?" They also implied several times that Snowden isn't smart enough to do something like this on his own.
So the NSA hires someone who's supposed to be not smart enough yet was able to steal passwords as well as laptops from them...
I'd say that their security measures are a joke and I am concerned about how many other people can utilize NSA capabilities for personal reasons. Say, some geek who was picked on in school who decides to settle the score now that he's got the chance to dig up dirt on his tormentors. Or a jilted lover who decides to use NSA databases to stalk their ex.
We're supposed to just blindly buy the story from the Puzzle Palace after they've been caught out in more than one blatant fabrication or omission?
Sorry, not me, I can't trust people who deceive me.
