Today the Washington Post & AP are reporting the following about the U.S. Customs and Border Protection computer system.
Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said the virus impacted computer systems at a number of airports Thursday night, including those in New York, San Francisco, Miami, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas and Laredo, Texas.
Knocke said customs agents immediately switched to manual inspections. He declined to provide details on where the computer virus originated but said Friday the investigation remained open.
So how many times does an opportunity like this need to come around before Steve Jobs himself pulls his head out of the music world and calls someone over at the Department of Homeland Security or in Congress and says, "Gentleman I think I have a solution that will help solve your computer security problems."
