At one point during the investigation, so many national security agents were reportedly playing video games that a "deconfliction" group was created to ensure they were not inadvertently spying on one another.

I'm pretty sure that the people they've got doing this are the ones who would ordinarily be doing boring computer work.

I'm not talking about the gun waving, I'm talking about the "sit in a cafe and listen all day" type.
Though I'm not sure where the line is between field informant and electronic informant. But I would assume that anyone with great computer skills wouldn't be given a task that didn't require their computer skills.

It's generally considered bad form in journalism to interject personal opinions into articles, no matter how obvious they seem.
