FBI agents investigating the Martin breach were appalled at how lax security was at TAO, officials said. "[Rogers] is a guy who has been at the helm of the NSA at the time of some of the most egregious security breaches, most recently Hal Martin," said a senior administration official. "Clearly it's a sprawling bureaucracy . . . but I think there's a compelling case that can be made that some of the safeguards that should have been put in place were either not fully put in place or not implemented properly."
