I'm a little puzzled here. Remember the Outrageous! Outrageous!

25. If Snowden had put poison in his co-worker's coffee...

...killing them, he would also likely have been able to walk out the door. Walking out doors isn't hard, especially when you suddenly betray people with no indication that you were going to.

And for all the hype about the NSA tracking everything instantly, this is simply a delusion. Even if the NSA had some sort of instant alarm, who would monitor it? What if that person decided to betray their oath like Snowden did?

The job of the NSA is to provide foreign intelligence especially targeted at threats to the United States, including terrorists. Not to actually be what people who hate the idea of National Security or fighting terrorism would want them to be: Orwellian.

Please also note something else. The IRS keeps substantially more sensitive information that the NSA does - all on American citizens. You want to get rid of the progressive U.S. tax code in the name of the same extremist interpretations of the 4th Amendment? It has the same "potential" to do harm, even though it basically doesn't, and you'd make a lot of GOP 1%ers happy there Manny.
