* The world's largest online retailer that does $54M in sales per day has a bug in its procurement system that randomly transposes tracking codes.
ORRRRRRRR!
* The intelligence agency whose massive scope and pervasive operational shortcomings were recently exposed by one low-level operative had a slip-up in applying a well-publicized tactic to an obviously high value target.
On the other hand, what's great about your way of putting it is that it juxtaposes your belief in the all encompassing nature of the NSA's programs with your incredulity that such a program might have been applied specifically here. I also like the part where the NSA is guarded by the Catch-22 "it wasn't them, because if it was, you'd never know", such that that there's no scenario in which you could be convinced that the NSA did anything.
And yet again, maybe it's time to stop thinking of the NSA as some far-off abstraction and start thinking about it is an actual thing that affects our daily lives.
