Lower Merion School's Report Says IT Dept. Did It, But Didn't Inhale

PSandusky writes "A report issued by the Lower Merion School District's chosen law firm blames the district's IT department for the laptop webcam spying scandal. In particular, the report mentions lax IT policies and record-keeping as major problems that enabled the spying. Despite thousands of e-mails and images to the contrary, the report also maintains that no proof exists that anyone in IT viewed images captured by the webcams."

Wait no, it's Bush's fault, damn Patriot Act. Damn Damn Dammmmmmmn.

No, it couldn't have been Bush. He was too busy plotting the 9/11 attacks to have the free time.

Simple. The assistant principle is not I.T., is he? Therefore this is not proof that anyone from I.T. dept saw the photo.

"A couple of workers at my company reported pornography found on a higher up's computer, and ended up fired for it. At some places, you do your job and keep your mouth shut, or find somewhere else to work."

At all places you do your job and keep your mouth shut. I'm pretty sure there job wasn't to search through admin laptops looking for porn, they probably stumbled across it quite by accident and decided to report it. Very stupid, so they were fired for their stupidity and rightly so. You do your job first, and if you see or hear something while doing your job that is not related to your job, pretend you didn't.

Ratting on co-workers is a good way to be hated or fired or shanked, and not necessarily in that order.
