Don't know this kids occupational specialty, but if he was doing intelligence analysis/reporting or anything that touches on that, he would very likely have had access to JWICS, the SCI network. With that access, he could easily search for information and intelligence. HOWEVER, no way no how should he have been able to photograph these documents. Recording devices of ANY type are clearly and absolutely prohibited in those spaces. So either he broke that rule or he printed the pages and smuggled them out of the SCIF - another prohibited action. So where was the security team (Special Security Office) and work supervision?
I read he did IT.
Those were ODNI/CIA docs and doubtful on JWICS. But agree w your statement. Anyone can bring a phone into a SCIF, you’re just breaking the law when you do.
