Pfffftt! Do they honestly believe they can contain the lurch of data? That stuff is everywhere by now. It’s been scattered to the wind like dandelion seeds. Some of them may be snatched up by the beaks of government birds, but most will settle and sprout anew in foreign lands.

Once the data is out and made public, it’s everywhere. The ability for anyone to copy data from one flash drive to another takes seconds.

I didn’t realize that the reporter was a sodomite. There were those articles about his “partner,” David Miranda. Partner is “British” for lover.

Because thumb drives haven’t been invented yet.

And reporters won’t take copies of key documents home and give them to their auntie for safe keeping.

Given that the ‘Snowden Files’ heretofore leaked have proved mostly embarrassing to the US Feds over the extent of domestic spying...

One wonders what the Brits have to fear/hide...

Idiots. Why did they just not turn off the machines or lock up the hard drives in a safe somewhere.
I'm sure they have them. Not even Snowden can sniff data off an inactive drive. Not yet anyway.
Wonder if there was something even more embarrassing on those drives, something the politicians wanted destroyed.

Guardian

Alan Rusbridger, the Guardian editor-in-chief, has said that the destruction of computer hard drives containing information provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden allowed the paper to continue reporting on the revelations instead of surrendering the material to UK courts.

Send the UK gub’mint the bill for damages, replacement costs, lost data, etc. and sue if they don’t pay.

Do this in a very noisy public manner, which they can do as they are a news organization.
