Even today there are NSA analysts who have tried to lookup their ex-wives, and been caught and terminated. And that's just leaving it to NSA's own accountability measures, imagine what we could do if we actually added real oversight!

A sophisticated NSA analyst could make many trades with inside information and avoid raising alarm by making off-the-radar trades.
