      Collect it all, map it all. Remarkable that made it into a story, in any case, given the implications.

      .@emptywheel Definitely rang my alarm bells here! "NSA tuned its sensors" sounds like tuning knob to pickup different radio station.

      Of course other implication is place where NSA guy left the tools was unaccessible. "Go back and get them!" "I can't!"

          .@emptywheel Which brings up question of how did NSA learn toolkit had been snatched. If no Internet usage detected, remote computer traced?
