A month ago House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Waxman (D-CA) Released a Report on Information Security Breach at TSA's Traveler Redress Website "At the request of Chairman Henry Waxman, Committee staff have been investigating how TSA could have launched a website that violated basic operating standards of web security and failed to protect travelers’ sensitive personal information. As this report describes, these security breaches can be traced to TSA’s poor acquisition practices, conflicts of interest, and inadequate oversight."
Pretty pathetic and sadly average for the Bush administration's ability to do anything right involving their favored practice of outsourcing. Oh and this came months after the TSA lost a hard drive "containing Social Security numbers, bank data and payroll information for about 100,000 employees." These are the people that are supposed to be protecting us.
