Regardless of your beliefs on the merits of Edward Snowdenès actions, the fact that he was a systems administrator shows some vulnerabilities in NSA's operations. How did he get all of the information he has? Was it because he was a systems administrator or because was attuned to the mission of the organization? Since a large number of us are or were systems programmers, this raises some very interesting and troubling issues.How easy is it for us to steal information without being caught? Do we inherently have the ability to get any information we want from the systems under our control? What are the safeguards against us going rogue? Are they so drastic that they would either greatly increase the cost of doing our jobs or cripple our organizations?
