I've worked in the public sector a while and what I learned is - if the agency head(s) ask you to do something job related, even if it's against the policy that's printed out, you do it.
If the superintendent of a school district says - "Whats the password for root on the server?" You tell them.
I have zero sympathy for Childs, he took ownership of something that didn't belong to him, sure he designed it, but it was bought and paid for by the City of San Francisco, and he turned into a control freak. When someone higher up the food chain started poking around "his" stuff he got whacky and tried to stand up to one of the biggest cities in the US. Well guess what, you will lose that fight.
I think the government getting into this is the right choice.
I remember talking to my old boss about this 12 years ago. He is very socially conservative and didn't trust government at all, but he agreed that the Feds should be in control of this after having to deal with GTE and Comcast when it came to E-Rate and how they jerked around the schools, police and governments they were supposed to be offering services to in exchange for a monopoly.
I don't get why the Telcos think they have the right to shape traffic, my friends work for a rural electric co-op and the power company doesn't give three hoots what you do with your electrons. Why can't AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, etc be the same? Just sell the bandwidth and let us do whatever we want, within legal boundaries.
I can get in trouble for using too much electricity to grow weed, so I could get in trouble for using my bandwidth for terrorism, child pr0n, etc.
Well when the companies cry about it on Capital Hill, we all know why the FTC is getting involved, because the companies farked up an easy thing.
The big ISPs can do what Qwest did, use the railroad right of ways to run data along private routes. You could get a packet from Miami to Anchorage using right of ways and submarine cables or privately owned satellites.
And they can happily shape the traffic however they want. Anyone beyond port 80? You get to pay extra for that.
The FCC has the jurisdiction, they should be enforcing the rules. But since they don't have the teeth, let the FTC do it, those guys are sharks.
Oh and the summary says FTC when it would say FCC - "FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz, who has argued in favor of bolstering his agency's enforcement ability. This power would stand in stark contrast to a besieged FTC, whose ability to oversee broadband providers has been cast into doubt after a federal court ruled last month that the agency lacked the ability to punish Comcast for violating open-Internet guidelines."
The B-2 crews get to switch off with one sitting in a lawn chair behind the seats napping or listening to music, why are the commercial flights any different?
"In 1995, prosecutors said, Childs was again arrested in Kansas and charged with aggravated assault and carrying a concealed weapon. The case was reduced to misdemeanor weapons possession."
And he had stuff he shouldn't have at home
"For example, the city's court filings claim that police found an ID badge and access card of one of Childs' colleagues in his house, and that Childs had lists of usernames and passwords of other city employees, including his direct supervisor, Herb Tong. Childs' having these materials is difficult to justify, if true."
"Early SUVs were descendants from commercial and military vehicles such as the World War II Jeep and Land Rover.SUVs have been popular for many years with rural buyers due to their off-road capabilities.
The earliest examples of longer-wheelbase wagon-type SUVs were the Chevrolet Carryall Suburban (1935), GAZ-61 (1938), Willys Jeep Wagon (1948), Pobeda M-72 (GAZ-M20/1955), which Russian references credit as possibly being the first modern SUV, Land Rover Series II 109 (1958), and the International Harvester Scout 80 (1961). These were followed by the more 'modern' Jeep Wagoneer (1963), International Harvester Scout II (1971), Ford Bronco (1966), Toyota Land Cruiser FJ-55 (1968), the Chevrolet Blazer / GMC Jimmy (1969), and the Land Rover Range Rover (1970)."

I know, you'd think though with the FCC being what it is and the mandate it has, that it would have the jurisdiction, but the court said nope.

Naw, let them ban legal drugs, like caffeine. And since it's bad for you, HFCS, fat, driving, water, etc.
When your kids get older are you going to be in favor of a ban on alcohol as well?
Yes, legislating behavior is an awesome deal.
Lets ban drugs, alcohol, sodium, and internet usage as well.

Nor does time make one reformed in every case.
Terry Childs is a convicted felon, his record wasn't expunged, so the fact stands.
And now he is a felon again.
San Francisco's government isn't the Federal Government.
If the Mayor of San Francisco, or hell even the Governor of California ask the FBI or NSA to crack a password it'd either be flat out rejected (NSA) or it'd bounce through the Department of Justice for ages (FBI).
My experience has been, when the head of your agency or supervisor(s) ask for a password, you give it to them.
If they call you and ask for it, you give it to them.
Terry Childs is a felon, the city of San Francisco shouldn't have put him in that position in the first place.
The man was already a felon from the 1980s, so it shows he tended not to follow the law.

No, he refused to disclose the password to his supervisors when they asked him for them.
Glad they found him guilty.
