[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kid will be charged.  But, things need to change.  They need to go up the chain of command and see what kind of supervision was in place.

If a weapon is lost in an Army unit. Everything stops in the unit until it is found.  If it is not found, heads roll.
If a soldier dies in a training accident.  Head roll.

If a ship runs aground, the Captain is fired.

What rules were in place to prevent this leak other than trust in the Airman?

There is a reason car insurance is more expensive for people under 25.  There is a reason car rental agencies restrict rentals to young people.

This is not a defense of what the Airman did.  It is clear, though, that this is risky business to let a 21 year old --or even anyone--have access to this span of information.  [/quote]

[b]SECDEF Austin already said they are going to tighten measures.  But it's not like the system is new, it's been operating the same way for decades.[/quote[/b]]

Until supervisors and the chain is made responsible --and made to pay for things like this--nothing will change.  What kind of supervision was this kid getting?  Why would a low level IT guy in a Guard unit in Massachusetts be accessible to all this information?  I'm having trouble understanding why anyone in that unit would need access to all of it.

You don't even know what his supervisory chain failed to do, so how can you demand they get punished?  He needed access to the system because it was his job to maintain it.[/quote]
