When It Snowdens, It Snowdens

There was an AP headline today -- "Russian official says they haven't received asylum application yet from Snowden." 

Four thoughts came to mind:

1) It must have gotten caught up in Red tape.

2) If he sent the application by email, they could just ask the NSA for a backup copy.

3) The Russian official missed a great opportunity.  Could have answered, "Not nyet.'

4) With Snowden still stuck at airport, I wonder if Steven Spielberg can sue for copyright infringement from The Terminal?

Note to self.  Idea for new PBS TV series.  "Where in the World is Edward Snowden?"
