I had to remove this detail from my original post as it was too long: Boost mobile is negligent and not following industry standards. Their whole security model is based on a 4-digit pin. At first I thought somebody had a script working its

I am really curious why I got a down-vote or two. I was not being facetious. Outside the classified materials Ed leaked and we all know about, he shares details about hotels he stayed at during training and his trips into what seemed to me

I am about half way through the book. Do you feel he revealed additional details in the book that the CIA/NSA does not appreciate? IE, location and purpose of buildings?

You are correct. I am a very humble business owner (of 12) who recognizes, appreciates and praises my employees’ skills. I find it humbling that out of all the businesses "out there" they choose to work for me. It comes down to two things
