Fox News ^ | 1-17-2013 | Perry Chiaramonte

“Whoops”. Question is, whether accidental or not, was it a violation of the law?

Yes.

I deal with PII everyday and if I forget to label or encrypt correspondence with such info in it, I will be beat about the head and shoulders, be counseled, and be warned that continued problems can be grounds for dismissal. The Federal government takes such issues very seriously dontyaknow....

Why are people surprised? Liberal fascism has been on the march since 2007.

Just sick the dogs on them if they are trespassers.

EPA is not accountable under any law. Just like the rest of the government agencies.
