I've heard/seen Cordesman speak but never made the connection. Looks like audiophiles come from all walks of life (and why not!).
I think he may be right as this all seems to turn around the issue of Snowden and not the fact that all of this is outsourced to unaccountable private players with lousy screening levels, which is what we should be talking about. Not too long ago 3 private contractors with access to this kind of info conspired with the Chamber of Commerce to spy on Americans who didn't like the way business is being conducted.
The cat's been out of the bag for some time now. What interesting times we live in.
All the best,
