NSA Q-Group is the team that were hunting Edward Snowden.
There is also Q clearance, which is a Department of Energy security clearance.
As for running 911 defense, that's possible, but maybe things changed over time?
It's always bugged me that Snowden is a traitor, but without him exposing ILLEGAL activities, would we even be where we are today?
I fully accept that to the US government agencies he is a traitor, but not so sure he's a traitor to the people….
Problem is, spooks always be spookin…
