So... at the level above you? Where people "need to know?"

One of the other things outlined in Body of Secrets is the revolving-door, industrial-espionage game played by the NSA and the Mossad. Because most large American tech companies provide equipment to the NSA, and because the NSA's charter is explicitly foreign, the NSA has carte blanche to spy on foreign companies, extract their intellectual property, and then "give" it to American companies in exchange for components, designs, parts, etc. Israel is even worse: because they have compulsory service, the IDF filters promising electronics techs into the Mossad, where they learn how to build espionage gear, and then releases them into the private sector where they build components for sale to other countries. One of the reasons we handle Israel with kid gloves is their entire espionage apparatus is basically an annex of the NSA/CIA.

So while you have to deal with shipments being intercepted? And the guys on the other line are pissed off? And all your shit keeps breaking for no goddamn reason? Your boss and his boss know what's up.
