According to the NSA, "NOBODY could stop Snowden – he was A SYSADMIN!"

If they were using SELinux with the MLS policies, even as sysadmin he couldn't
have done that stuff without being detected, because the sysadmin user and the
audit/security user are two separate roles, and sysadmin can't touch the
audit logs nor can they su to 'audit'.

Maybe they should go talk to the people who developed SELinux.

Oh wait...
