If I had been Snowden's corporate manager and his theft was brought to my attention: He would be reported to the corporate security officer, who would report him to the Client's security office, then he would be fired within 24 hours. We (the company) would pray the Government wouldn't decertify the company and disqualify us from all government contracts.
If I was his Chinese or Russian manager, aka, handler, I would thank him for making me look pretty damn good. I'd make sure he had a comfortable place to live until my bosses decided if he was good for further exploitation or scheduled for termination with extreme prejudice.

As his manager, you would initiate the office investigation of how the material was stolen. Then about an hour later, you would be relieved of duty, and people in cheap black suits would complete your initial investigation. If you were a career gov/contract manager, you would get away from it as fast as you could.

Pat him on the back and ask him for a ticket, he did what his heart and head told him to do and exposed a issue that should not have been there in the first place.

He worked there three months, and not in the section that did monitoring. He was not there long enough to know what he was talking about.

If he did not know what he was talking about then why are those in power so worried about what he had, has to say or show the world and the American people? Fact he know some thing, he was trained to be in position he was in, so 3 months was plenty of time to see how messed up and wrong things where. He did follow proper channels and was told to shut up and leave it be or there would be actions he would not like. His response was to blow the whistle and get out before he ended up dead. Yes we live in a free country but there are things and people who do not want certain things know to the people of this country, and they will and can do what ever they feel need to prevent that from happening. JFK was not shot by the man we have been told he was shot by, exit wounds prove that but we the people listen to what we where told and did not question until years later, think about that those in power did what they felt need doing and we will never know the entire truth.

PO3 Tiffany Meyers SGT David T. As managers we need to look at the situation and determine what went wrong. How did we hire someone disloyal to the company, unit, and government? What can we do to not hire people who will take our information?

SGT David T.
It begs the question. Was he disloyal or was he actually doing what he felt was morally right despite being illegal. The programs he exposed are a blight on this nation. When our government tramples on the very thing we all swore to protect there is a major issue. Security is not an excuse for infringing on the rights of everyday Americans. If the government had to show cause to a judge and get a warrant, I wouldn't care. However, warrantless search and seizure is unconstitutional. I could care less what they do abroad, but spying on your own people is unacceptable. But to get back to the question at hand, there is nothing that can be done in a case like this. Until someone engages in behavior, there's no grounds to deny the clearance.

That's easy, I'd quit.
Edit: Oh, I thought you meant like, career manager, like an agent. Yeah, that's gotta suck for the guy's supervisor.

How would you deal WITH Snowden if you were his manager? Go in and find out your employee is in the newspaper....in a big way. I never had a supervisory or manager challenge like that manager.
