how on earth would a 21 year old member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard have access to all this shit? isn’t access to classified information compartamentalized, even among people with security clearances that would permit them, if they had a good reason, to see it? you’d think the US security state would have learned a little from Manning and Snowden? maybe they need to learn from firms like Apple about how to restrict information flows by default?
@interfluidity If experience on the private side of IT has taught me anything, it's that users will sacrifice security for convenience every damn time.
Sometimes IT can push back. When the user is a non-tech-savvy general who doesn't want to jump through hoops to get critical information to his subordinates securely, though, I can easily see how shit like this would happen.
