I think I figured the Snowden comment from Q:
How did @Snowden clear customs/immigration in HK AFTER the public release?
Why wouldn’t he FIRST travel to final destination prior to public release?
Snowden went to Hong King to give Intelligence Info China. The U.S wanted to get Inventor Hu Zhicheng BACK to the U.S (not sure why). So they sent Snowden to China in May. On June 5th Snowden leaks Inteligence and on Same day China sends Hu Zhicheng back to U.S. who they have held for 2 years. A few days later Snowden goes to Russia.
If wanted by the US govt would he be cleared to travel?
Who provided support to escape?
Who was the US after during this time?
JA - have you learned & eliminated L-6?
Use logic.
