I’ve Been Violated

<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060522/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/veterans_disk">Personal Data of 26.5M Veterans Stolen</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>Personal data, including Social Security numbers of 26.5 million U.S. veterans, was stolen from a Veterans Affairs employee this month after he took the information home without authorization, the department said Monday.</blockquote><br />n<br />nWhat the hell did this asshole need with this information at home!!I though this as I read the story then I got really mad when I read this.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>The material represents personal data of all living veterans who served and have been discharged since 1976, according to the department. The information was included in the veterans' discharge summary that goes into a government database.</blockquote><br />n<br />nYea, that be me, I fall in this range. Maybe the Government should provide us with free credit reports every quarter for 5 years to allow us to monitor the situation. Yea, take responsibility for the situation, the Government would never stoop to that. Now to figure out what to do to check out how badly I've been violated. It sure doesn't feel good.<br />n<br />n<b>Time after time, we are finding incidents where common sense and good practices of democracies are being violated. Jay Inslee</b>
