For security reasons, I can fully understand why the DHS did not want this report released. There is nothing as damaging to security as publicizing a major security flaw to the people most likely to exploit such lapses.
Sure, the public has a right to transparency. But maybe in this case, the retraining/whatever could have been done before releasing the information, so that the news about lapses could be tied to news about how it is stronger than ever?
Their so called security system suffers from a 96% failure rate. That is not a lapse. It is a total system failure.
Would you purchase anything that worked, on average, 4% of the time?
If they were really worried about security they would be working to make sure the system works. The only security they’re worried about is their jobs.
I disagree. The failure of the entire organization is so incredibly systemic, sweeping it under the rug, and calling for "retraining" just doesn't cut it. It just needs to be shut down, disbanded, and the current employees barred from ever working for the government in any capacity.
