"We have many levels of security, including internal and external protection. This information was not accessible outside of the school district," she said.
This quote comes from the
Daily Gazette and I must say that if the levels of internal and external securities is easily broken with a simple password that is known by many of the faculty and students, then you have no security. This is simply a case of the Administration's Pride getting hurt and the only course of action to take is to beat down someone (in this case, the messenger).
Now, albeit one of the two teens involved (most likely the one arrested) has had some history of misuse of the computers:
One of the students has been disciplined in the past for breaking the school's code of conduct with computers
Although this could be anything from installing pirated software to setting the background to a penguin or even turning off the monitor (high schools are paranoid about students expressing individuality). I just hope that this witch trial isn't as bad as the last.
Doh...that's right. I actually remember that Mythbusters episode as well.
But this does pose another question . . . can they (with further modifications to the vehicle) achieve escape velocity by simply having a quarter pipe at then end of a runway?
I wonder if these people realize that strapping a rocket to a car is not an original concept. I realize that it's just a legend and that the real incident just had the car on a railroad track that led into an abandoned mine but still!
At the same time, I'd love for them to put a ramp at the southern end of the England and see if they can clear the English Channel.
