I'm so glad that our gov't takes security so seriously

Once again, Department of Homeland Security gets another F in computer security. Incidently, that's the same grade for the third straight year. The government overall is maintaining a D+, sort of like the GPA of a certain Commander in Chief. :-)

I love the irony in the fact that they are passing all these laws on cybercrime, some were proposed that make the entity upon whom the crime was perpetrated liable for not adequately defending themselves, and they get such horrible scores.

Sadly, I'm not all that surprised. Given the governmental tendency to focus on paperwork over actual process, those results come as no shock. It also means that if there's a really smart and computer-savvy terrorist group out there, they'd have pretty open access to a LOT of realyl sensitive materials and information....provided by the agency that's supposed to be securing the country.

Y'know, if Bush is really as born-again Christian as he's put forth....and these ideas were the result of Divine Inspiration.....I can't help think it does prove God's got a sense of humor. ;}
