> That inbox will get hacked. It's only a matter of time. If thousands of federal bureaucrats have access to it, I would be very surprised if foreign intelligence agencies do not already have access to it in some capacity.

That is honestly my problem with NSA/FBI/etc.

They have the biggest pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and the attack vectors are limitless. Political [The Hitler scenario], technical [foreign intelligence, terrorists, basement hackers, etc.], handling of garbage [someone didn't dispose of it correctly], internal [someone wants to go a target on their own, sell it to the Chinese, etc], etc. etc.

The fact Snowden was able to do what he did is proof they aren't competent enough to be trusted with that pot of gold.
