(7,402 posts)Even questioning why they didn't required two people to grant security access as protection against internal espionage of the likes of Snowden. (Later they reported that that change had been put in place but that is classic closing the barn door after the horse got out). It is next to impossible to understand how that was not already built into the system. Another breech is how did Snowden simply walk out the door with Booz-Allen computers under his arm -- this shows a gross lack of physical security. Lastly, where was the government audit function to insure that these minimum security measures were not already in place. Deregulating security has big time consequences. How can heads not roll at Booz-Allen and that means at least the CEO, CIO, Snowden's superiors and those responsible for physical security.
