criminals are stupid.

there was a bank robbery near me where after robbing the bank, the
idiot waited for a bus at a bus stop near the bank. not only did he not
wait very long, but he got an express ride downtown and had his photo
taken for free.

I remember reading about a bank robbery here several years ago. The
suspect was described as 400+ pounds, dressed all in black, on a 110
degree day. Needless to say, he did not blend in at the nearby casino
he "escaped" to.

there was another one where the idiot tried to cash a bum check.

little did he know, the teller had her checks stolen days earlier, and
her name was on the check he was trying to cash.

needless to say, he also got a complimentary ride downtown.

Yep, there's stupid, and then there's stupid with some pretty bad luck
thrown in.

In both the McAfee & Reality Winner case, it was the journalist who as you
sayed "are stupid" since "all major manufacturers of color laser printers
entered a secret agreement with governments to ensure that the output of
those printers is forensically traceable."
