Snowden left for Russia "with a cornucopia of American intelligence documents" on four laptops [View all] Cali_Democrat Jun 2013 OP

Why would he carry 4 laptops if all the info is on a thumb drive? Melinda Jun 2013 #1

He probably repeatedly filled the thumb drive... randome Jun 2013 #2

Good point. Don't know. randome Jun 2013 #4

Effective steganography requires a lot of extra bits per bit of information. FarCenter Jun 2013 #9

Dammit. Someone made sense of it all. I am outta here!! Melinda Jun 2013 #10

If the diplomatic relations are based in lies then they are on the way to being Cleita Jun 2013 #12

Cleita, none of us--not a single one of us on these boards have a clue Skidmore Jun 2013 #16

I don't entirely disagree, but a house of cards can be knocked down much Cleita Jun 2013 #18

Yep Andy823 Jun 2013 #15

If those lap tops exist, you can be sure Wikileaks has them now. Cleita Jun 2013 #11

Or Russia. n/t Cali_Democrat Jun 2013 #13

He was accompanied by companions from Wikileaks. I think they have the information first even Cleita Jun 2013 #14

The Guardian said he had 4 laptops while in Hong Kong muriel_volestrangler Jun 2013 #32

"he was carrying four computers that enabled him to gain access" suffragette Jun 2013 #36

The link to NYT allegedly saying Snowden has 4 laptops in Russia cannot be found on the internet adric mutelovic Jun 2013 #30

That's here: muriel_volestrangler Jun 2013 #33

Your link says nothing about any laptops adric mutelovic Jun 2013 #34

It showed up in a Google News search with the quote muriel_volestrangler Jun 2013 #35
