Honestly, I don't know if he's doing any harm by making the claim, but it's strange.

I wonder if it's simply an innovative way to avoid creditors. I mean, if Homeland Security won't allow people to gain access to his offices, it's going to be more difficult to confront the guy.

i would be shocked if homeland security used servers in some strange man's office.

they are all about secure facilities ... like pentagon and military base secure.

Besides the people that work for Homeland Security are going to be the last ones to actually SAY the work for Homeland Security.

hey, if you have no skeletons in your closet that homeland security would be interested in then go ahead and tell them. Sounds like this asshole deserves it.

I was told it was okay to tell people. But, I was just a techie, not the one going out and kicking down terriosts doors.

i didn't say they couldn't ... i just figured they wouldn't

seriously, if you are doing some serious shit like that with Homeland Security are you really gonna run around and announce it and take the chance of bringing more hassle down on yourself? Not me ... keep your mouth shut and do you job.

I was considered a terrorist target for a while. They called me into the Federal Security directors office and sat me down with HR and some security guy in the room to tell me. Must have been some legal thing. They were concerned about people with admin access being forced to disclose the password. Scared the chit out of me, thought I was getting fired or arrested.

Later they figured out that there were too many people with that access to worry about. Didn't make me feel better.

I never thought about that aspect of it.

So, it stands to reason that a person who is "hosting" Homeland Security data would have some access to either the data or the passwords necessary to access the data. That would make you a target, wouldn't it?

Honestly, I just can't imagine this guy being able to pass the vetting process. I think he's lying.

I'm surprised I passed. I was a pretty wild, hard living dude until I hit 30.

I just remembered something else. He also told me that he recorded all the phone conversations at his office, Mr. BigRedChief. When I suggested that it might be a good idea to inform people of that practice, he stated that notification wasn't legally necessary and that Homeland Security required that he record all conversations.

Does that sound reasonable? I mean, does it sound right that Homeland Security would require that all phone conversations be taped?
