Summary
This excerpt from "How America Lost Its Secrets" analyzes Edward Snowden's decision to leave his job at Dell for a lower-paying position at Booz Allen Hamilton. The author argues that this move was unnecessary for whistleblowing purposes, as Snowden already had access to critical documents like FISA court orders and Presidential Policy Directive 20 while at Dell, and suggests the job switch actually increased his risk of detection.
