"ctrl+a, ctrl+c.. ctrl+v.... send myself to prison for 90 years"
Furthermore, a lot of people in these types of positions (sysadmin work etc; and I say that as someone who does this type of work myself, though not at a three letter agency) get a feeling that they're good enough to get away with it - whether or not it's actually true.
Making an announcement like that just seems exceptionally stupid.
It's not all that rare to see sysadmins that get fired or even just perceive mistreatment by coworkers or employers to jump the shark and mess up the systems they're meant to take care of.
