This document discusses the challenges and risks associated with the NSA's reliance on private contractors like Booz Allen Hamilton, highlighting the conflict between profit motives and security quality. It contrasts standard business metrics with the opaque nature of intelligence failures, citing the 2013 Snowden breach as a catastrophic public failure comparable only to the 1968 capture of the USS Pueblo. The text critiques the privatization of secret intelligence, noting how financial incentives led contractors to prioritize low-wage staffing over quality control.
