> “In order to do this kind of stuff, we have to recruit from a certain demographic,” he said, referring to government surveillance. “And I don’t mean to judge them at all, but this group of millennials and related groups simply have different understandings of the words loyalty, secrecy, and transparency than certainly my generation did.”

Your god damn right we do.

High praise as far as I'm concerned.

Surprising that they want to spy on us and teach these millennials that secrecy doesn't exist, and are surprised when the ones running their most secrecy-eradicating programs are not interested in maintaining secrecy. Maybe it would have been a different story if they did this only to foreigners, and maybe it wouldn't have blown up in their faces if their recruiting tactics didn't involve jailing hackers, but c'est la vie.
