Trust me we are so close to socialized medicine that it is scary. Last week I interviewed for a web applications development position at NIH. The project is a Personal Health Records (PHR) retention system. Now it is great to have a central collection system but this system is in the reach and control of unscrupulous politicians. Just as the Dept of Commerce census process has been moved to the White House so will your right to medical service will be "adjusted" for the good of the (socialist) party.

Hmmm, it seems to me that each agency was required in July 2007 by OMB to have a breach notification policy within 120 days. http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/memoranda/fy2007/...

Also, just so you know, the Government Accountability Office has nothing to do with accountability, they're just the auditors for Congress. It sounds loftier than it really is. =)

Once again its time to point out that computer security is not just a government problem but a problem for everyone. Private industry security is just as lax. To only point out government security shortcomings is one-sided and fails to disclose how pervasive this problem is.
