tsa-worker-sentenced-for-falsifying-reports

Posted by: admin 12 years, 10 months ago

According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Robert Wilson, 51, of Ellenwood, Ga. will be doing four months in federal prison for falsifying records.

From about November 2004 to January 2005, Wilson filed at least eight inspection reports with TSA that contained false information. For example, Wilson falsely claimed that he inspected gates that were in fact closed and inaccessible due to construction. Wilson also falsely reported that he had made an inspection of an airline to ensure its compliance with security regulations. Wilson also falsely reported that he performed some inspections with TSA employees who, according to time and attendance records, were not on duty at the time.

It has occurred to me that you could develop an interesting incentive program for an information security team, assuming that you believe a couple of data points (or can come up with your own) and your primary concern is a data breach. In my opinion, security people are all too often incented only to maintain security - not to optimize the investment in security. Interests need to be aligned.

• Remember to vote today, or there is no way your vote can be mis-counted
• It's expensive and screwed up notes Adam
• Unattended voting machines turning up, just waiting for manipulation
• If you're a Govenor or a member of Congress chances are that you won't be able to vote.
• I bet that pansy Ed Felton never thought of just busting the crap out of Diebold machine with a metal cat paperweight. NB: I am assuming that the guy didn't own the pansy-esque paperweight, but just borrowed it from his roomate/grandmother.
• If you're frustrated with both parties, just vote for Somebody Else, at least it will test the write-in functionality of your voting machine.
• No matter how many issues there are with voting macines, nothing will happen because the macine makers have come up with the ultimate distraction and surely the top news story: Brittany Spears files for divorce.. It's Diebold-olical!
