There is something to be said about how this went past "urgent" into "emergency response / recovery" sometime before the Snowden leaks (prompting the Snowden leaks). Odd that there is an attitude surrounding this akin to (not just telling firefighters not to bother as you said elsewhere in thread) but, "The house is already on fire, clearly that means we shouldn't care about putting it out. If it was a real priority to not have a building on fire why is it clearly on fire? Also let's build some very flammable houses next door." People's lives have already been ruined by the inability of the government to secure the sensitive data it collects (see: OPM breach). That's pretty much the end-of-the-line in terms of damage assessment. Let's just try to do it better.
