QOTD: "Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden stole vastly more information than previously speculated, and is holding it at ransom for his own protection...

“He stole everything — literally everything,” the official said.

Last month British and U.S. intelligence officials speculated Snowden had in his possession a “doomsday cache” of intelligence information, including the names of undercover intelligence personnel stationed around the world.

“Sources briefed on the matter” told Reuters that such a cache could be used as an insurance policy in the event Snowden was captured, and that, “the worst was yet to come.”" --Giuseppe Macri

Re: Snowden "stealing everything".

The fish rots from the head down. If we can see what a mess ObamaCare is turning out to be, what if the smartest people in the room also were in charge of internal systems for the State Department? It appears they were. How else can we explain how easy it was for a mere network technician like Snowden to have access to "everything" not to mention get away with it. It should go without saying that getting a copy of "everything" would move a lot of data and take a lot of time.

I can answer that question.
Once a person goes through the clearance process it is basically based on the "honor roll" system.

Instead of protocols for the information.
