Terrible argument. You're asserting that any steps to reduce bad things is a waste of time because bad things always happen?
The net result of that argument is that ANYTHING that is done is OK as long as it saves lives. You may knee jerk think that makes sense but I can come up with a LOT of ways to save lives that you wouldn't think were very ok.

You take all possible steps to protect yourself.

True, poor choice of words. Certainly not "All" steps.
Prudent steps, and Mr. Snowden isn't the arbitor for the nations security. There were better methods to have a national discussion about the tools in place without having to completely reveal them.
His actions with Putin show his naivety in world affairs.
