I'm concerned that this can happen so easily and continue to go on for as long as this may have done. I've worked in placed that new the instant an external storage media was attached to my computer, yet this contractor was able to download TERABYTES of data?
I know people will always find ways to bypass security protocols, but it seems as if there weren't enough in place in this situation. I am not an NSA employee, so I don't know what the specific circumstances are in this situation, but it does drive concerns.

Bring back the days of when you DIED for TREASON and this shit would STOP! Hell going to the Hilton Prisons and not hard labor is what is wrong. Hell 3 hot, cot and TV and everything else why not. All they will do is smack my hand!

I agree. Until we show that people will receive punishment for actions against their country, we cannot expect things to change. We went years with no major issues, but now we have gotten soft on punishment and have problems right and left. Hell, we have someone running for president that "accidentally" may have leaked info. Still running for president because she wasn't prosecuted. Time to wake up America and hold people responsible for their actions.

Physical access trumps a lot, but it isn't a full proof way of avoiding detection. Him coming from BAH, it's conceivable he could have had some level of administrator access. Just goes to show we need to conduct better security interviews and implement more capabilities which can detect this activity.
It doesn't help when people build cultist-like support around people like Snowden, making him out to seem like some kind of hero. I realize it's hard to accept the government's word that they are doing all they can to comply with the law while keeping the methods secret but that's the catch 22.

I have stopped trying to figure out why people do somethings so incredibly stupid, whether or not for some perceived "greater good".
