The Washington Post's Devlin Barrett explains how an arrest of a government contractor was made so quickly in the NSA document leak to The Intercept. The answer, according to some former NSA analysts, is that the agency routinely monitors many of its employees' computer activity. The case offers a reminder that virtually every American worker in today's economy can be tracked and reported — and you don't even have to be the NSA to pull it off. Privacy advocates have been pushing for years to have Congress review various communications privacy laws in light of updates to technology. So you might still want to be careful with what you do on your devices at work.
