#1 The story is complete bullshit. The woman who couldn't log in didn't complete 365 checks -- once her failure was found out, those were all re-checked, the ones who failed had their permits revoked, and she was fired.

The press is wording their stories as if NO checks were done at all for the entire state, and as if the entire department was aware and OK with it. Why bloggers -- who should know better -- are repeating it is an utter mystery to me.

#2 It takes 3 months to generate a report!??!

Reviews, rewrites, further reviews, further rewrites with every level, gotta change sad to happy, you know. Ever been in a bureaucracy?

#3 “Clarification: This story was updated to clarify that Putnam's office did not review the results of background checks for concealed weapons applicants for non-criminal offenses for more than a year.”

It’s not clear from the Tampa Bay story just how the 365 checks relate to the thousands of applications. But upon performing the checks, two thirds of the associated permits were revoked, which seems surprising.

#7 So, easiest way to get an on-the-job paid vacation is to create a strong password and forget it immediately. I think I worked a help desk where almost all we did was reset passwords all day long...
