Begin forwarded message: From: "Schulze,Shawn M" <SSCHULZE () stpaultravelers com> Date: August 3, 2004 2:03:29 PM EDT To: dave () farber net Cc: shawnschulze () cox net Subject: RE: [IP] EDS Outsourcing American Airlines and US Airways utilize software by EDS for their air traffic control towers. EDS gets its code from outsourcing the majority of work. Now wouldn't it be a WHOLE lot easier to infiltrate a Development firm in a foreign country and ADD some code for the next attack on the US. You don't have to learn to fly, you don't have to enter the country, no passports, no papertrail, no communications and you can use pilots already in place. You can simultaneously wreak havoc across the entire country while not risking a thing. Homeland security is this HUGE organization dedicated to protect us. They need to start justifying their salary. And a spokesmen from EDS says we have an internal scrutinzation process that ... Obviously isn't good enough if your causing 6 hour delays across the country. This is what Stockholders want? To inflate their purses beyond any possible practical or logical means of safety. I'm sure EDS made a killing on that little sidejob but at what possible future expense of the public?
