Another shoot the messenger article. Somewhat they try to convince us that every single person ten miles around NSA is basically an archangel, incorruptible and honest, that work just for justice and fairness, and given by God the right of being over everyone else rights. And everyone in the other side must be punished, stripped of privacy and intellectual property and keep be unsafe while there are "bad" people around.
This really means that thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of people which ultimate goal is to get money, and have little to none auditing on what they do, some NSA employees, some from private companies, can access your trade secrets, your bank account, or whatever that can be used to blackmail you, and make any kind of profit from it, no matter from where you are, or who you are. And that won't be even noticed by the authorities (if they even care, they have the "state secret" wildcard) unless they become public on that (they noticed what Snowden did because he went public, on pourpose). And that also means that that information (that they are "careful" having it safe) on which vulnerabilities they introduced on pourpose on every kind of "secure" software, if ever leaks, get reverse engineered or found out by luck, will be exploited by the bad guys too.
Hanlon's razor is not an excuse for this kind of article anymore.
