  It's certainly a possibility, though I wonder how Booz Allen management could have recognized a potential problem. It's entirely possible that Martin was simply embedded with the NSA and Booz Allen management only saw him every couple of weeks as a "pulse check". If the client (NSA) had no complaints, then Martin could have been considered a "model" employee. And even if his fellow employees knew he was a hoarder...would that have really been cause for suspicion? Additionally, in fairness to Booz Allen, in the article it states: "Martin was employed as a private contractor by at least seven different companies, working for several government agencies beginning in 1993 after serving in the U.S. Navy for four years, according to the indictment." So if we're going to hang Booz Allen management out to dry, there might be a few other companies deserving of it as well.
