It'd really be nice, wouldn't it, to think that somebody in the government, somewhere, anywhere, has a clue?

The Blotter: "The data stolen included names, social security numbers, codes for the locations where the contractors worked and their security clearances. "

But, no.

"The data," (names, codes, yada yada) involved 1,500 contractors and employees of the National Nuclear Security Administration. (Nuclear security. Right.) The theft occurred in July, 2004, was noticed by NNSA a year later. "Affected employees" were notified "several days ago," according to this story dated June 12, 2006.

The good news, though, is nobody's burned a flag in about 40 years. So at least we've got that problem under control.
