Funded But Incompetent - The FBI and Its Not-So-Secure Storage of Sensitive Data

You can click thru for the sad details, and what the FBI is going to do to "correct the situation." But I will leave you with the spin.

The spokesperson added that every worker or contractor allowed into the facility has been security vetted, and the entire site is fenced off and has "positive perimeter access control" and intrusion detection systems.

See the story I posted on Sunday about the backdoors in RFID access cards. (Hat tip to Borepatch: FBI security measures laughably weak.)
