Did you tell them or keep the joke to yourself? bill mccall -----Original Message----- From: Alan [mailto:alan@private] Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2001 2:30 PM To: crime@private Subject: Speaking of security... I find this both extreamly funny and frightening at the same time. faa.gov is an open mail relay. This means that anyone can forge mail that looks like it comes from the FAA. Want to ban laptops on flights? Screaming babies? Silly string? Now is your chance. It also begs the question of whether the rest of the silly rules involving nail clippers and the like are the result of forged e-mail. (Nah! Too rational.) You would think that the people who are charged with securing planes would do a better job securing their servers... It does explain a lot though. **************************************************************************** This message is intended for the sole use of the individual and entity to whom it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
