I will be revising the second paragraph, as the comments show that I wasn’t clear with my claim of the intelligence agencies being very unaware of the damage they have caused while they are trying to fulfill a mission.

People tend to carefully hang a frame in their minds as if they were, they had just moved into a new home.

Bamford creates the frame of the US intelligence agencies acting very sloppy in their operations, which enhances their passive mindsets towards innocent civilian lives.
