Because fuck you (and the constitution), that's why. Oh sorry, because terrist bogeymen, that's why.

They'll poll damn well after the next attack
The next attack will happen with or without illegal, unconstitutional domestic spying. I don't want you magic tiger protection rocks sir.
Both I think prove my original clichéd conjectures. Some times I wonder if this type of inarticulate attack is really do to some deep seated inner loathing at recognition of oneself in the original argument.
The government however is not divided that I can see. They want his ass on a platter. Strung up, drawn and quartered with his parts sent to the four corners of Scotland as a message. This is telling in this day and age of 'partisan' bickering to keep the masses distracted with largely inconsequential issues. Patriotism is not serving in office. Or recording every bit of data you can weakening our country, technology and economy in the process, to supposedly protect us. It is not giving lip service to the constitution, while you wipe your arse with it by your actions.
It is about standing up. It is about saying wait, this is NOT what MY country is supposed to be. It is about being able to stand up to a Tory, or a Tea Partier, or a Donkey and saying "fuck you, give me my rights, give me my liberty, or give me death", to paraphrase Patrick Henry. It is not in cow towing to the powers that be, but resisting the ever reaching yoke of the powerful.
But we don't stand by and large. We listen to Fox news and MSNBC talking heads and nod. We scream at our football games or hope to see a blurred nipple slip on TMZ. We laugh at cat memes and snapchat sext our co-workers while the spouse is away. We wonder at the changes in the climate then get into our unneeded and wasteful SUV.
What happened to our spine? The one that beat the brits? The one that helped show Germany and Japan where they could put it when they wanted to remake the world into their bleak image? Why are we more interested in goatse, and goth chicks and godzilla than righting our government? Why can 10 random people not discuss issues without at least 1 to 2 people completely derailing any progress? Why do we continually bend over while those in power plum our innermost depths to their own ends?
I wish I knew the answers. I though many of these thoughts as a teen 20 years ago. Then I had the optimism to think that we were on the brink. That we would stand, that a revolution was imminent. That the way things were would be changed and we had the power to do it. I was cynical then, but had hope. Now I think I am a defeatist. I would like more than just a few people to prove me wrong. The Snowdens of the world are currently the exception that proves the rule. Why is this?
Snapchat downplays the significance of the hole.
Isn't that their entire business model? Encourage more people to show of their naughty bits, therefore "downplaying the significance of the hole."
The number of people with knowledge of how to change the firmware is probably a pretty short list. When crossed against the list of people who have access to the compromised systems it likely gets smaller
Could others break in and figure it out? Sure, but I think Occam's Razor applies. The data is likely already split and sold (Krebs evidence suggests this). So the guys at the top, if smart, have made their money, and can sit back and relax.
Take your pants down while a cast a spell to protect you from tigers.
Next time, take off your underwear also, this way the spell can effect you better.
This time, for the spell to work, I have to touch you down there.
Pretty soon, your fucked either way, but at least it's not ERMAGHERD TIGERS.
The NSA knew about some of the 9-11 hijackers, but it was lost in the noise (and in lack of interdepartmental information sharing). The solution, suck in more noise? Makes little sense to me.
Eroticas go faster because people are skipping over the pages of badly written sex trying to find more plot.
Are you dyslexic?
With your bare hands?!?
