TSA Worker Tried to Sabotage Terror Database

The bad news: A TSA worker tried to sabotage the government network by uploading a logic bomb into the system. The good news: The guy was as good at hacking as the TSA is at screening people so nothing happened.

Douglas James Duchak, 46, had worked as a data analyst at the TSA’s Colorado Springs Operations Center, or CSOC, since 2004. The CSOC is used to vet people who have "access to sensitive information and secure areas of the nation’s transportation network," according to the indictment. A source involved in the case said this involved screening of both passengers and workers at airports and other transportation facilities.
