A federal judge in San Francisco has ordered the Department of Homeland
Security's Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to give me
additional documents on a cyber attack that shut down portions of the
national border screening system last year.

The government had argued that releasing more than six
partially-blacked-out pages on the August 2005 incident would make the
sensitive US-VISIT system vulnerable to computer intruders. After
reviewing the 672 pages of documents the government has in its
possession, U.S. District Court Judge Susan Illston is unconvinced.
