Since he has been there for about a week now, it seems incredibly unlikely that the Russian government hasn't been able to get their hands on all the classified material and laptops he took with him. Flying to Russia without a good plan for step two was an epic mistake.
- b6 13y agoI think Snowden and/or Wikileaks would have thought of that before leaving HK. If the Russians have anything, it's encrypted blobs.

Dealing with Russian government ... after not liking to deal with US ... somewhat illogical.
- WildUtah 13y agoit seems incredibly unlikely that the Russian government hasn't been able to get their hands on all the classified material and laptops he took with him Most likely they built a special-purpose $5 machine to decrypt all his information. And that's why we haven't seen any photos of him since he left HK. It looks like a foolish mistake to have left China at all instead of applying for asylum there. China would be a good place for someone like Snowden to hide out from US authorities and live a good, full life. Ecuador and Russia are both very likely to exploit him themselves or turn him over to the US when the next administration comes in. But maybe he has something up his sleeve. I would not be surprised to hear that he's not in Moscow at all.
