	My conclusion is that he didn't need sophisticated opsec
	because he wasn't a suspect. And no, that doesn't mean he is a
	plant. It simply means he was regarded as a loyal empployee and
	loyal subject of the state.

	Yes, they missed Snowden so they are incompetent to some
	degree. Arguably in this particular case their incompetence
	wasn't exactly small...
