You are such a dreamer, Snowden has already proven they dont know their ass from their elbow when it comes to network security. It doesnt take much, especially in a Microsoft environment, to have gobal, unlimited access. Its not like they actually have any tools, procedures, workflows or user education in place to audit, prevent and/or flag for these actions of exceeding authorization or social engineeringsome maroon's credentials. It is doubtful they are even aware of the concept of two factor authentication at the level where it could be requested for budgeting or that, once budgeted, they could competently and effectively roll it out in less than 5 years and under $1 billion. LOL the lowest (more likely, no) bidder would probably provide comprimised Huwei tokens purchased from China on Alibaba!

Why would you assume someone in "management" actually reviews tracking logs or even responds to notices that specific logs/entries being explicitly flagged for attention (e.g. the Boston PD failure to act on stolen vehicle flagging by plate cameras, for MONTHS) as suspicious, even if that is their primary job description. They spend their day whacking off to the pr0n collection they brought in on the DVDs in their lunch bag (as it is unlikely the rent-a-cop or enlisted drudge at the security booth is going to notice a DVD under the sandwich or if noticed, file a report on a muckety-muck that probably can have them fired in a few short minutes with all "no good deed goes unpunished" consequences delivered to a whistle blower). You've already seen the level of competence in a government bureaucracy demonstrated by DHS/TSA. What evidence do you have that the NSA dipwads are any better? It is unlikely there is either efficacy or efficiency to be found in ANY three letter agency swilling at the taxpayer trough.
