Ya, and Socialized medicine is supposed to be good for us all. Much better than Social Security, Medicare/Medicade, Welfare, and all of the other government run programs.
Has this post gone on long enough to mention Nazis yet? ;)
Guys,
There is a reason. It's not some sort of strange conspiracy or security back
door.
They keep the data on removable drives so that the drives can be locked in a
safe when they're not in use, and they are supposed to lock said drives in
said safe any time they are not actually using the data. It's that simple.
Yeah, there are flaws in the plan, but that's the reason for it.
Actually, there were well-intentioned but not viable attempts to have drives
'Holding critical or restricted data" kept only in "multiple hardware locked" storages.
Plain english translation meaning something akin to the safes at a cash handling location which needs at least TWO mechanical keys and TWO codes AND TWO Dallas Semi"Button keys" all SIX factors of which work only during certain externally loaded times. And that unit being kept in a secured "Man Trap corridor protected area too.
Needless to say we now have 2 sorts of reply to those proposals.
Ones that are more intensely complex.
And the present blissful ignorances of security we see all around us.
"True Security is a moving target"
