I wonder whether they transformed top secret networks into intentionally slow networks now for large scale leaks to take years or tens of years :)


Limiting outgoing traffic would be enough.


Snowden used "a memory stick and other removable media, including a CD-ROM that he labeled as a Lady Gaga music CD" [1], so this kind of limiting wouldn't work. But he still did loads of internal network data queries, that's what I'm talking about.

You're mixing up Snowden with Manning.
