Just when you think that our security and privacy is under control and Homeland Security is doing their job, out comes the news that the Transportation Security Administration has lost a computer hard drive containing Social Security numbers, bank data and payroll information for about 100,000 employee records.
According to the report, the hard drive was missing from a controlled area at TSA headquarters.
Did you catch that? A controlled area. WTF is up with that? Sounds like an inside job to me.
At least the TSA is promising employees to pay for one year of credit monitoring services.
If you ever worked for the Homeland Security agency from January 2002 until August 2005, it’s time to call your attorney ![]()

Now, I would hope that “controlled area” means more there than it does where I work. But our controlled area is a door behind a combination lock. Not exactly an amazing act of brilliance to get inside of it.
Hey peroty.
I also hope it means more then some basic door and lock but my gut feeling is the outside building is secure but once inside, it’s a different story.
This is why I am thinking it’s an inside job. We shall see.
