"A U.S. Transport Security Administration analyst has been indicted with tampering with databases
used by the TSA to identify possible terrorists who may be trying to fly in the U.S.

Douglas James Duchak, 46, was indicted by a grand jury Wednesday with two counts of damaging protected computers.
According to a federal indictment, Duchak tried to compromise computers at the TSA's Colorado Springs Operations Center 
(CSOC)
on Oct. 22, 2009, seven days after he'd being given two weeks notice that he was being dismissed.
He was also charged with tampering with a TSA server that contained data from the U.S. Marshal's Service Warrant 
Information Network."
