What I find interesting about this case is that he was able to obtain so many documents. It's especially interesting to me because I'm currently writing a novel that involves an NSA employee, and in my novel any bags are controlled for documents and electronic devices at the entrance to NSA Headquarters, Fort Meade, and employees have to go through airport-like scanners both when they enter and exit the building. Obviously, this is fantasy and I've never been there. Am I being unrealistic? Should I instead assume that everybody with a green employee badge can just walk in and walk out with a trove of documents under his arm, as long as they are in a nice envelope? Also, I should mention that I feel sorry for Harold. He just seems to be a pathological hoarder with no evil intentions.
