This is not exactly what you would call keeping a low profile or 'good OPSEC' for a person actively planning to drop the biggest Intel leak in history.
I find this unbelievable.
Are you saying the alleged facts you listed are not true? (that's a possibility)
But if you assmue all that is true, then my view fits nicely. He didn't bothered with 'opsec' because he didn't need to.
Maybe he didn't. Some will draw conclusions about how extremely competent the NSA thus is (as in: Snowden being a plant, a part of a larger operation to deceive the public or whomever about something);
My conclusion is that he didn't need sophisticated opsec because he wasn't a suspect. And no, that doesn't mean he is a plant. It simply means he was regarded as a loyal empployee and loyal subject of the state.
some will rather draw conclusions on how incompetent it is (as in: missed the Boston Bomber, missed Snowden, etc).
Yes, they missed Snowden so they are incompetent to some degree. Arguably in this particular case their incompetence wasn't exactly small...
You're free to chouse your poison. :)
I like poison (idiocracy - I like money)
