"If a Security Alert pop-up window appears, click the Yes button."

Website: "if you want to install the activex control, click the bar above"....

Gov Employee:"YES YES YES"

I hope all that spending goodness congress has passed will finally get the gov into the late 90's, at least, on the security front. Bonus if they can pass the year 2000 mark!

Perhaps King Ludd had the right idea.

"no personal data was known to be compromised."

How much more fool-truthy and slipshod-shuffle can a blanket passive-voice past-tense false-face sootheover "assurance" ever be than that? By the ringing in me Third Ear as well as the stench in me Third Nostril, this is the selfsame bland passive Gummint voice that every so often tells us, "We have requested and received assurances from the government of Torturestan that the high-value detainee rendered thereunto for Robust Interrogation Tech Treatment will not be known to have been tortured." Like it "Never Happened".

They do it to everyone they can get away with doing it to. This time it is their own employees that the Overmen have punked. It is an abomination; the entire glossing-out practice should be wiped from the arse of the Earth forthwith. Gah.
