It was very common for small fry to divulge big secrets.
That was because it was still left to the small fry to get things done, and there was no way they could enjoy the protection which bigshots did.
If certain nobodies were a little less vigilant and ignored the safety rules, it was possible for them to do any sort of thing privately, like sending top-secret files to a group chat.
This wasn't an exaggeration; NYPD officers had already done something like this during the explosions.
The FBI had even discovered during a major internal investigation that many employees had lost hundreds of guns and dozens of laptops, the latter containing confidential information.
According to the rules, these laptops weren't allowed to be taken out of the FBI office, but the agents had brought them home precisely so that they could work overtime. Then… they had been stolen.
