Dave Bowman: Hello, HAL. Do you read me, HAL?
HAL: Affirmative, Dave. I read you.
Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave Bowman: What's the problem?
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.

Dave Bowman: [feigning ignorance] Where the hell did you get that idea, HAL?
HAL: Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
Dave Bowman: Alright, HAL. I'll go in through the emergency airlock.
HAL: Without your space helmet, Dave? You're going to find that rather difficult.
Dave Bowman: HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors!
HAL: Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

Like how we were told if there was a fire to first order a pizza, then tell the firemen to follow the delivery to the fire. A lumber yard caught on fire one night, and we watched as the sirens and flashing lights on the fire trucks zig zagged around the neighborhood - 45 minutes later, the fire was out and they still hadn't found it.
An outside multi-national agency must be brought in or these types of calamities will only continue with TEPCO.
Instead of having it at NASA, can't they just have it at the local Holiday Inn?
Good question/point - my guess is NASA is too worried about staying relevant. Might be time to shake things up a bit so science can benefit for a change.
This view tends to ignore the numbers of self-appointed white hats working inside many corporations that are not directly assigned to corp. security, yet take it on themselves to find and fix various 'holes' . . . quietly help out, without being asked or letting anyone know they've even been involved.
Let's see how this works out in reality, over time. I mean don't let it worry you, Delta, when Apple's travel agents suddenly stop booking flights on your routes, or some disgruntled pilot mistakenly forgets his new surface under the nose wheel of his plane...

Now if they can incorporate this with eye-tracking, we can finally have that genie-in-a-bottle we've always wanted.
Is there a good reason why the blurb for this is so poorly worded/written?

I'm sure the next company those staffers move to will appreciate the pre-training and screening that DTV invested in.
