Wednesday, September 17, 2008
J. Edgar Hoover, traditionalist that he was, might not have been shocked, but we are. Turns out that as of last year about one third of FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) employees did not have email, and two-thirds of them didn't even have computers. And not even those lucky G Men who do have computers are in the clear: A report from the Senate Appropriations Committee declares that the FBI's Hoover Building headquarters isn't up to spec for handling classified intelligence and other sensitive information. See the article in Pro Publica for the unnerving details.
