I think that paradoxically, the Moscow airport is the safest place on earth for Snowden. He could even arrange a global press conference in a waiting lounge in perfect safety. Putin is enjoying this deliciously ironic “turnabout” far to much to screw it up by grabbing Snowden. The FSB will surround him but as bodyguards to prevent possible assassination or kidnapping. He will be given the usual Russian gifts (Matrushka dolls, high-end vodka, etc) and put on the airplane.
If Putin REALLY wanted to rub it in, he’d give Snowden the famously purloined Superbowl ring.
NOBODY is enjoying this fiasco more that Vlad Putin. That old spy can’t stop grinning over this, believe me.
Snowden's safety was not my concern. It was the laptops. Putin is a thief and murderer who is not subtle. The irony is that all that hoopla over the Super Bowl ring revealed his true thuggery.
If he did lift the Super Bowl ring off Kraft in front of a onlooking world, he will not think twice about relieving Fast Eddie of the only life insurance policy that he currently has.
