Big screens are just management porn, its only for showing off to visitors and be taken pictures in front of.

We have the same in the SOC (Security Operation Center) where I work, and it's always fun watching politicians and other "prominent" people nodding their heads when our manager explains what the screens are showing. The fact is that we never ever use that information ourself, and all the real work is done one our own personal screens.

But it can be made to look impressive, and make sure the money flows our way... :)

Do you mean that the hospital can't use CT- or CAT-scan on a child either? I don't believe that is forbidden, nor do I think that the full body scanner violates that law.

What is a security expert? Is it people who believe that they are experts in one single area, and that area is called security?

I work with IT security for a living, and there are many areas within that field. We have people who are good at network and data analysis, some who can reverse engineer malware, others who do a good forensics job, one group focuses on incident response and others works with standards and procedures. And this is just a few areas. Encryption is a part of this. Tempest too.

So again, what is a security expert? One who is an expert in one or all of this areas? What is DHS looking for?

It is a much better practice to use a "walled garden"[1] to give them a very limited access to the net until they have cleaned up their infection. I have seen examples of this used to give the customers access to anti-virus software and Windows update only, in addition to a set of web pages that explains why they have limited access (and how to get out of it).

This is a much better solution than just blocking the customers access to the net.

Seems like the games included in the emulator, was cracked versions from a group called "Remember". Found a blog with some screenshots of it at this blog.

...and then type:

LOAD "*",8,1
RUN

And you will see that the game has a cracker intro (from a group called REMEMBER)... with greetings to many of the good old cracker groups on the Commodore 64. :)
