I Was Right

But who knew it would be confirmed so soon.

I'm so busy today I feel like I'm drowning... so post-blog meet post won't be up until tomorrow. *sigh*

In the meantime - I blogged here a few weeks ago about passport security.

What if they have an unknown affiliation with "bad guys"? How easy is it for the "bad guys" to get them to tap into certain records and pick up or even change information?


Today via Instapundit comes this headline:

Passport official quits amid probes

Court documents show a State Department employee provided personal information from passport applications for use in a credit-card fraud scheme.


Sadly this would never have come to light if someone hadn't been caught looking at "high profile" passport information.   I'm not surprised but one has to wonder how much information has already been accessed and sold.  Not to mention - is there any way to figure it out?

In this case I don't like being right.  I would rather have people thinking I was wrong and incredibly ultra paranoid.

1 I think very much like you do, and often wonder if anyone in national levels of law enforcement and anti-terrorism departments in our country is thinking of this stuff WAY ahead of time as well. I hope so, but sometimes I wonder if they are. God I truly hope and pray that they are.
