This is Barry’s plan. If anything goes wrong over the next few years, Barry will blame Snowden directly and indirectly the entire group clammoring to rein in his domestic spying apparatus.
Time to eliminate those that make that decisions....
so.....the remaining 10% are willing to pick up all of that overtime?
I don’t think so.
Wouldn’t removing 90% of the SA’s result in the remaining 10 being overworked and more prone to making errors? Either data loss or a large security oversight could result.
This news sounds like managers talking (maybe liberal managers since reality is being denied) and scrambling to save their positions with pie-in-the-sky pipe dreams. This size reduction would seem impossible in practicality.
. Just an RJ45 cross over cable and sshd on the un-secured laptop. He could easily get his secured laptop IP, assign the un-secured laptop in the same subnet; transfer. Easy peasy..
This raises another question: If they can do without 90% of their DBA, how much redundancy do they have?
And if they simply need to replace that many, how will they after having PO’d so many good hackers and IT security people?
ping for later
They’ll be transferred to the IRS. The IRS needs lots of people so they can continue to spy on citizens.
So they are saying “We didn’t need 90% of the sys admin people we pay.” ????
Prolly not a good idea to fire 90% of your admins.
How long before they start yakking? This is gonna be good, pass the popcorn!

Are we there yet?
Let's just say that it would be an awful lot of fingers in the pie - I am a sysadmin, and if my shop had ten times the staff it does, it wouldn't run better, it would be absolute chaos.
I don't do data mining - that's for the DBAs and their minions. Not that someone with sysadmin access and the necessary chops couldn't do data mining but that's pretty much a full-time job, even at this little place. You could fire a bunch of us sysadmins and the data mining would never skip a beat, at least until the hardware started to break.
So, once again, meaningless words, carefully parsed, from a government that isn't even slightly inclined to reveal the truth. You could just as easily address this issue by firing 90% of the bus drivers.
The most secure of Unix-like systems are a couple of BSD variants. Good systems administrators for those systems need several years of independent practice before being paid for the work. So on average, they tend to be more principled than the in$tant wonder$kind, who receive their training by the university $poonful for operating the more certified, authorized, out-of-the-box kind of $y$tem.
“Who really believes anything these gangsters say anyway?”
Exactly.
And just who is going to pick up all the slack for the 9-out-of-10 employees taken out of the loop?
Snowden can do it, he just needs a VPN passcode.
Talk about shutting the barn door after the cows have escaped.
I don’t suppose they’ve tightened security or decided perhaps a Private Third Class or a six month employee might not deserve full security access.
Bammy finds out gov't operations from the media. He apparently has NO chops hisself.
