... you're assuming Snowden had access to more than "need to know," and that he was far down the chain of command and somewhat removed from the atmosphere of responsibility and duty.
That doesn't sound plausible.
Oh, wait.

... according to California Assemblywoman Shannon Grove (R).
“Texas was in a long period of drought until Governor Perry signed the fetal pain bill,” she told the audience. “It rained that night. Now God has his hold on California.”
Your observations are correct, but too narrow, I think.
When we discovered how to preserve fire millions of years ago (experts disagree about the date) we surely burned our encampments and the woods around us until we realized that, while very much desirable, fire was the devil's only friend.
The Internet is so damn useful that the planet grabbed it and ran with it.
The whole goddam Internet is at broken, security-wise, and it's because of early adoption with no vision for the future.
Like fire, we have to revisit and revise until we get it under control.
Prof Heidi Johansen-Berg, a UK expert in neuroscience at the University of Oxford, said the brain was too complex an organ to be able to make broad generalisations.
Governments and ISPs don't have anything that that users don't have. It's a level playing field except for one important set of parameters:
There are a shitload more people NOT associated with government or ISP, giving those people much higher odds of containing a subset of people MUCH more clever than governments and ISPs.
We all have the same computing hardware and software, and social media provides a push-down path for those of us who are not as gifted to benefit from those who are, even if it means we have cottage industries crop up.

... people have walked in on me doing this with vendors:
Them: OK, now pry the back off and unseat the doohickey and re-tighten all screws.
Me: [Shake desk drawer] OK, done.
Them: What are the new indications?
Me: [On speakerphone getting work done] Same thing.
Them: [Eventually] Looks like the thing you told us about half an hour ago is defective. We will send you a new one.
Me: You're a genius.
Apparently security training at the NSA is pretty poor.
Apparently, in light of recent news, you're righter than you are.
I don't disagree entirely.
Clouds are a huge attack surface populated by some impressive names.
Hell, the feds can't keep their doors shut.
I do the best I can with my law firm in-house and I use best of breed off the shelf protection.
That's my risk assessment.
I don't sell widgets and it's already in the news that Bubba got in a car wreck and stuff.
Monitored by drones.
... there was no OPM breach.
The US feds came up with a nice piece of fiction and now the British bastards are doing a spin-off.
It was China. No, Russia. No, it was OPM. No, Snowden.

We have never been 100% successful with fire ...
I think that's a "people" problem.
Anybody who does research needs to do so thoroughly.
Back when I was a kid, George Washington had wooden teeth and chopped down a cheery tree. Later, he was a slave owner.
Things change.
Google can help tell the whole story, from initial falsehood to corrected version (or reverse).
The fact that someone WAS wrongly accused is an important part of the story you cite.
My momma used to say that up in Northeast Texas where we have a lot of both.
Your logic is no more flawed than the crazy thinking of people in charge of the nation's security and can't get it right.
I'll bet you a hundred dollars to a whole in a doughnut that one or both of the following are true:
1.) The nation's computer systems are unpatched
2.) Government employees got phished by email or web link.
What say you?
... you're placing this at the feet of Republicans and Democrats when you don't know bullshit from wild honey.
OPM is not a fucking Super PAC.
It's the government. It's federal employees, managers, administrators, people who, by and large, are not subjected to turnover.
You're not going to solve this with the goddam vote.
Go home.
Boom!

I don't know why this is modded down to 0 (at this writing). It's on point.

I don't know it and I don't accept it.
Citation, please.

It's like sending every kid to piano lessons. Some kids will excel at piano. A damn few. The others will suck and fight the waste of time.
That's fine as long as the "Men and women tend to be different" for non-discriminatory differences.
If you don't know what you're talking about, then goddamit don't post.
Is up mods a goal?
I'm a photographer. I have saved my face thousands of times.
Thanks for playing and we have some swell parting gifts for you.
Poor implementation on your part.
The other end offers much a more sustained volume of hot air.
So, fail.
