I havr a degree in computer forensics but became a better paid software developer, so i dont have much real world experience to be helpful with this...
In one of my classes, we had someone from thr NSA come and talk to us. We had learned about embedding pictures in other files so they were hidden and how to use LE forensic software to find them. This was a different, older method not using the tools being mentioned here today.
The NSA guy knew about this stuff and also fielded questions that we had about some recent news (this was around 2010) that NSA agents were caught with CP of their own and had become addicted through exposure in their line of work (supposedly...).
I also had an experience I won't go into where my wife mined information for an alphabet agency im an unofficial capacity. I taught her how to use TOR and she used thst to get info for them and they were so impressed, which confirmed for me their incompetence... This stuff was ISIS-related and they no longer needed her help once Trump started his campaign...
So what I'm trying to figure out, is if our IC is just so incompetent that they cant figure out Tom Hanks is hiding CP or something else in his IG posts or if they are turning a blind eye. It's a toss-up for me at this point and could be a little bit of both.
