It turns out the defense contractors that built it don't know what "encryption" means. The air force has known about the flaw since the 1990's but "assumed local adversaries wouldn't know how to exploit it." "There's a balance between pragmatics and sophistication," said Mike Wynne, Air Force Secretary from 2005 to 2008. Because, y'know, off the shelf encryption is so hard. And the enemy is always dumb.

But there's a whole lot more where that came from. And some of them don't involve poop. Post Comment

Here's my Democrat impression from the upcoming 2010 elections. Ready? "WE WERE TOTALLY HAMSTRUNG BY NOT HAVING MORE THAN A SUPER MAJORITY SO COME ON VOTERS YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT LET'S GO" At least the Republicans tell you to your face that they're going to fuck you over.
