Schneier on SecurityA blog covering security and security technology. « Friday Squid Blogging: Large Mechanical Squid | Main | Modeling Urban Panic » January 14, 2008Business Week on the Department of Homeland SecurityTheir special report from December includes a bunch of different articles. Posted on January 14, 2008 at 6:37 AM • 3 Comments To receive these entries once a month by e-mail, sign up for the Crypto-Gram Newsletter. In the section on excessive expense and lack of oversight of contractors they observe that 1.2 Billion USDollars have been spent on fingerprinting technology for US-VISIT.

To add insult to injury, RFID is proposed as a solution. Sigh... Posted by: Rich at January 14, 2008 12:39 PM The articles were fluff and no substance. I expected better from Business Week!
