What's to say $FOREIGN_INFOSEC_ACTORS don't try to target employees like him? Maybe he did "take his work home" and a FSB operative stole it from his home or hacked his home computer?

I'm saying this as if this was Russia and he was a Russian infosec guy, I wouldn't put it past the NSA TAO to go do just that.

Yes, this is dangerous; people shouldn't be allowed to bring government secrets home with them... unless they are cabinet level officials?

Actually, this argument has some merit, as cabinet level officials probably have a security detail, and hence much less likely to be infiltrated than a random contractor (at least physically; electronically is another matter)

Exactly! They should go to jail as well, but well you can't win them all... Clinton should be in jail.

That would in fact be their job. Far more so than monitoring each of their fellow citizens for shits and giggles. And porn.
