But can anyone get into the "transit area" of the Moscow airport to see if Edward Snowden is still there? Or are they blocked by Russian officials?

If no one is allowed in that "area", how do we know he is still there?

Has no one spotted him in the airport?

When was his last communication?

2. Ya, know Putin says he has no jurisdiction there, but

surely, he has had that place thoroughly searched, the security guards and room maids thoroughly questioned until he was satisfied that the guy was there or not there. Also, I'm certain that a place that keeps transit passengers has 360 view security cameras of very hallway, every room and every closet. Yes, it's odd that no one has seen him.
