[Bruce Schneier has an interesting thought][1]: if the NSA truly didn’t know what, or that, Snowden stole documents then…
> Given that, why should anyone believe that Snowden is the first person to walk out the NSA’s door with multiple gigabytes of classified documents? He might be the first to release documents to the public, but it’s a reasonable assumption that the previous leakers were working for Russ{i}a, or China, or elsewhere.
*Yikes*.
