lol this explains why the us-gov seems to be constantly hacked according to
news repports..
and their own tests on cyber security are always bad year after year even
though they spend so
much money on it. if i was living in the usa i would worry where my tax
money goes, but i guess
we all know where it goes lets not get political.
