Snowden clearly didn't have access to the crypto compartment.
Or... the journos, himself (and even unrelated deathbed retirees
talking to the likes of Bamford...) are all too afraid (or too, omg,
yay we can read AES patriotic advantage USA) to leak it.
Ops and compute can be extrapolated from military
and commercial sector physical stuff these days.
But crypto, maths, algos... brain stuff... has always been
their jewels.
Question is... will the new generation of leaksphere...
wikileaks, anonymous, darknets, the poitras / greenwalds,
ecuadors, technology, ethos, philosophy, rockstar, etc...
begin to elicit cracks in that?
