Dose the word 9-11 come to anyone's mind? Wow this is a scary story just the fact alone that it is the Federal Aviation Administration's computer system. Not good.

Terrorism doesn't have to include blood. So long as you implement fear, that's good enough. Unfortunately, the technological realm is a path that I believe terrorists will start using more and more frequently. God have mercy on this country.

FAA says no compromises, everything is fine we have accounted for everyone's info. Why worry about TSA security checks when you can electronically implant personnel records and they can stroll onto an aircraft into the cockpit which includes a complimentary handgun. FAA check, recheck then check again. In the military cyber-warfare is a critical component of our strategy.

Robert Foxworth and Talia Shire battle what appears to be a giant salami in rural, upstate Maine.

Obama wants everyone's entire medical records put on government computers. He must be totally uninformed or totally unconcerned about the lack of security on government computers.

Even worse is that government employees and politicians at all levels get into private records on government computers and use them for their own purposes.

There sure seems to be alot of "malpractice" in the United States today starting from top. Since no one seems to be held accountable anymore,...think it may continue or gradually get worse?

Hackers can get into about any computer system they desire, and government computers are no exception. Wait until all our medical records end up on computer, monitored by the government as part of the future liberal socialist medical insurance program. Your records won't be private anymore.

They were warned about this possibility over twenty years ago! I left IT security because they (management) would not take it serious.
