NSA folks scratching their heads
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, June 14 2013 @ 02:58 PM EDT
Outside contractors:

It is not the outside contractor that is the issue. It is that the employee is
not
full time career and committed. What did this guy have to loose -- a
temporary 3 month consulting assignment.

Everyone is sworn to secrecy by the NDA with jail as the result of failure to
comply. Snowden broke his oath.

I think though that he was not sufficiently vetted. He had issues from before.

I highly suspect that the information freedom issue was an excuse for him to
feel good about getting paid off to do this.

Regardless, it looks like the NSA is beyond the bounds of reasonableness.
While this should not have seen the light of public disclosure in an efficient
well run government, it is too late now.

So:

Snowden: Fail.
Hiring Snowden: Fail.
Giving Snowden more access than he needed: Fail
Spying on everyone without reasonable suspicion of crime: Fail.
Big Government Bureaucracies: Fail

They are inefficient because they are populated with both good and mediocre
non-motivated employees.
