“He tried to give the impression, it seems to me, that these system administrators had carte blanche to do what they wanted to do,” he said. “I think it’s a problem if that’s in fact what’s happening.”
Is it, in fact, possible to administer a system without having full access to that system?
- bilbo0s 13y agoWell... Yes and no. For instance, you can give a team full access... and at the same time have access control only grant that full access when two different people enter their credentials. Also, audits should be more than cursory... and should be performed by a DIFFERENT organization. They can operate in a more secure fashion than, I suspect, they currently operate. But when you consider the full matter.. You begin to see that the message, on a national level, is being managed in such a manner that "solutions" presuppose the EXISTENCE of these databases. If it were up to me, I would try to keep the conversation squarely centered around the deconstruction of this surveillance infrastructure. But we need to find a Senator who can credibly do that in the absence of Feingold... and this is a problem.
