"According to a NY Times article, a 6-month internal investigation has not been able to define the actual files that Edward Snowden had copied (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/15/us/officials-say-us-may-never-know-extent-of-snowdens-leaks.html). There is a suspicion that not all the documents have been leaked to newspapers, and a senior NSA official (Rick Ledgett), who is heading the security agency's task force examining Mr. Snowden's leak, has said on the record that he would consider recommending amnesty for Mr. Snowden in exchange for those unleaked documents. 'They've spent hundreds and hundreds of man-hours trying to reconstruct everything he has gotten, and they still don't know all of what he took,' a senior administration official said. 'I know that seems crazy, but everything with this is crazy.' That Mr. Snowden was so expertly able to exploit blind spots in the systems of America's most secretive spy agency illustrates how far computer security still lagged years after President Obama ordered standards tightened after the WikiLeaks revelations of 2010."

If the NSA went after the Bankers and Mega Corporations that crashed our economy instead of insisting on knowing when Grandma goes to the bathroom, people would have a lot more respect for the NSA.

The story is behind a paywall.

Other sites are carrying it where it's not.

NY Times has a Paywall, but Slashdot doesnt. Slashdot usually provides summaries of stories, so theres a drawback. There are other sources that do duplicate the entire story without paywalls. It probably wont be much longer until finding those stories that originate from behind paywalls becomes a crime thanks in part to the NSA.
