Taxpayer Information At Risk

Monday, April 16, 2007

A recent government report concluded that the IRS has not adequately protected the data on 52,000 IRS laptops. What do you think?

Felicia Keir,
Systems Analyst
"What about the desktops? Shouldn't we be worrying about those too? Never underestimate the brute strength of an identity thief."

Gregory Teedle,
Marine
"To be fair, the IRS has a lot of other stuff to worry about, like adequately protecting the data on their thousands of laptops."

Arnold Velmeir,
Store Manager
"This shall be the new reason why I don't pay taxes. To hell with 'no income' and 'laziness.'"
