The problem is that if you&#x27;re a rational thinker you have to make sure you&#x27;re able to make a living after doing something that is likely to ruin your career.  For example, how many companies would hire Snowden to do the same type of IT work he was doing before?  I wonder how many incredibly important leaks never happened because there wasn&#x27;t enough &quot;financial incentive.&quot;
