More Government Ineptitude

Is there any more inept body than the US government? Years after 9/11, while we are still under threat of terrorist attack, we have reports like this one in NewsMax.

According to the watchdog Government Accountability Office (GAO), America's main border control system is vulnerable to computer attacks, theft of sensitive data -- and the manipulation of millions of personal identity records, including passport, visa and Social Security numbers, and the world's largest fingerprint database, the Washington Post reports.

This computer system is used to prevent terrorists from entering the U.S. Well, so much for that. Why is it, when these failures to perform are revealed, no one is ever named and heads never roll. Let's personalize these atrocious debacles, put names to the failures and deal with the responsible people from top to bottom.
