Anyone who connects critical infrastructure to the Internet is, by definition, screwing up by the numbers. While no computer controlled system can be perfectly safe (Stuxnet was passed by USB drive, after all), it’s criminally negligent to attach any computer running important hardware to the public internet.

Is this the same Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano who said that we have NO problem with illegals coming into the country, our borders are safe and secure.

DHS is a complete mess. Bureaucracy at its heaving, lurching worst, chewing up resources that could be put to much better use in lowering healthcare costs, providing food, shelter, education, and re-training for jobs in this country. But no… not enough people fell for the bogeymen in the skies, so now, she’s telling us they’re in the wires, too. You’ve seen how the TSA handles “security” and “protection.” You really think DHS will do a better job on the data protection front? On top of everything else, she’s ready to roll out a plan that hires 3,000 people to “help” (as in, “we’re from the government, and we’re here to help”) in 2012. That’s why she’s looking for a fast decision from Congress. I want a fast decision, too. I want them to tell her “NO.”

Cyber attacks are increasing because instead of spending our money to improve our power grids and infrastructure and upgrading technologies that make them safe, you’re too busy spending all our money building bigger bombs and blowing up other countries, then rebuilding them so you can blow them up again over and over and over. If you spent half the money you spend on death and destruction, always looking for new ways to deny benefits to veterans and old, sick and disabled people and CHILDREN and shut down the war machine and used that money to better America, everyone would be safe and sound and way better off with enough to even satisfy the disgusting greed of the top 1 percent enough to lessen their quest to starve, cheat and steal from the rest of us.

With this nimrod running DHS we are almost certainly in trouble.
