Via 27B Stroke 6.

The Department of Homeland Security has been ordered to pay the Stanford
Law School Cyberlaw Clinic $66,861.39 in attorneys' fees for its failure to
comply with the Freedom of Information Act while stonewalling my request
for records on the Zotob virus' infiltration of its computers.

Alert readers will recall my year-long battle to learn the details of an
August 2005 failure of the $400 million US-VISIT system. Highlights include
the DHS's Bureau of Customs and Border Protection asking me to drop the
matter, then losing the paperwork, and finally denying the request in its
entirety, all to avoid revealing that it made mistakes in leaving the
border screening system open to attack.
