I have wondered about this with the whole damn thing, on those days when I am wearing my extra thick tinfoil hat. Think about it from the Dr Strangelove cold war perspective that a doomsday device would only be an effective deterrent if everyone knew about it. Perhaps they have put all the cables in, but really do not have the resources to back up or process 99% of it. This is not that much of a problem for them if they leak a load of powerpoint slides claiming that they do, as the result is an instant global version of Benway's panopticon, with people behaving as though they are surveilled, even when they are not. Perhaps Snowden never stopped working for the NSA. Then I remember that tinfoil hats were invented by the government to help focus radio waves onto the brain http://web.archive.org/web/20100708230258/http://people.csail.mit.edu/rahimi/helmet/ http://web.archive.org/web/20100708230258/http://people.csai... and I decide to go and watch cartoons. On reflection, there is probably such a thing as reading too much Robert Anton Wilson.
