800 Break-ins at Dept. of Homeland Security
WrongSizeGlass writes "Yahoo is reporting about the computer security nightmare going on at the Department of Homeland Security.

You see, the Department of Homeland Security is the 'People Person' of the national security industry. They take the top secret files from the FBI to the CIA. Usually their secretaries do it, but sometimes they do it personally. This is an important task so that the FBI doesn't have to deal with the CIA.

They usually suck. A good car analogy is like a car that lasts many years, without excessive maintenance bills, gets good mileage, is safe, roomy, and stylish.
A bad car analogy is like a lemon.
