Reminds me of when the Department of Agriculture took all their Internet firewalls offline because they were getting in the way. That was a few years ago, but could they still be setup that way....
Or the 6 consecutive (every three years or so) 5 year projects for revamping the IRS' computer systems. That one should be almost done now, once the consultants get finished up...
The traffic control upgrade went really smoothly, I hear. Everyone's been on the new systems for years now... uh-huh.... yeah, that's it.
If you don't believe that this could be a real reason, you haven't ever been involved with computers and the government.
