When I said "it doesn't take a rocket scientist to...", it was a joke on the fact that astronauts typically are rocket scientists, or pros in other scientific fields these day.
Unfortunately they tear the bag apart by reflex as they pass out.
That's why bag suicides usually take a couple of sleeping pills or restrain the hands.
So if they weren't successful you'd now have a delusional paranoid convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt that you were out to get them. Don't make any long term investments:P
I did some contract work for the government during the Y2K FUD and the administrators within that ministry were typical unionized civil servants.
They might get fired for gross incompetence or spending cutbacks, but with the union protecting them mediocrity gets the job done just fine. It was evident in their knowledge of their own network that security was far from a top priority. When I found myself having to explain what a MAC address was to their Senior Admin, I knew we were in trouble.
Which secure platform would you spend your money on then, over a free one? You can throw money at software all day, but if the admins are incompetent you're just pissing into the wind (and getting your money wet).
Do I want my government to pay a premium for software, or use open source for free?
Neither product can guarantee it's bulletproof, so in the end, Open Source is still the best option.
Does a taxpayer care whether software that was exploited was OS or MS? Nope. They just want to know how much money came out of their wallet to pay for it.
1. Steal RFID database, buy scanner. 2. Park van in front of exclusive boutique. 3. Wait for mark with lots of money, then snatch them. 4. ??????? (demand ransom, or make Paris Hilton video) 5. Profit!
