>Given the number of trainings that he would have attended while working at the NSA, I find it hard to believe that his OpSec radar wouldn't have been going off at that point. I've seen a similar line of thinking with regard to federal employees (who should have known better) and were successfully recruited, but then later arrested. You have to wonder to what degree they're telling the truth, or to what degree they really had blinders due to being so successfully charmed. Either way, this is common. I think it's hard for people to say "yes, I knew deep down this was a problem but hoped it wasn't true somehow."
