Other BAH personnel and BAH corporate liability are dependent on whether there was either process negligence (e.g., Snowden's team members didn't enforce policy) or inadequate measures. One man acting alone, even within a corporate structure, doesn't implicate his co-workers or the company as a whole. (Of course, this isn't always the case in court. See also: Arthur Anderson.)

A serious organization with a serious mission such as the NSA would be reckless? hapless? (a lot of very bad things) to rely on the civil courts this way for operational security. If the NSA had so little or no oversight or operational security, that's just crazy.

Like, these Keystone Cops don't know a damn thing about horses or barns, and should never have been trusted to look after them.
