Re: Delusional Officialdom
I too have a couple of friends who have worked for the government, dealing with classified data. Both have strictly enforced rules detailing exactly how and where they can access the data. I don't know the exact details (nor do I want to), but as I understand it, they are only allowed to access the data on computers airgapped from the internet, and they aren't allowed any devices on premises (these have to be handed in to security on entry).
While there are different levels of classification, their rule was simple. Only non classified data was allowed on computers with internet access.
Now, I understand that MPs have to travel, and they may need to access classified data outside the country, but they still shouldn't be storing classified data on publicly accessible systems.
