"Fingers and eyeballs", you guys are so passé.

The gov't targeted id method will be anal. No one will want to usurp that.

What the Gov't learnt from Area 51 now will come in handy....

Homeland Security IT Chief Has Many Fake Degrees

The Resume:
Dr. Laura Callahan literally held one of the most important IT positions in the country as the Department of Homeland Security's Deputy Chief Information Officer. We're talking about the person who managed databases full of information on terrorists here.

And for good reason: She had spent years holding that position with the Department of Labor and had a Ph.D. in computer science along with multiple other degrees.

And if you didn't know that, she'd be happy to tell you. She made it more than clear to everyone within earshot of her that she was the preeminent expert in her field. She led with a "My Way or the Highway" management style and even the slightest questioning of her knowledge or authority could lead to a reprimand or termination. She demanded to be addressed as "Doctor" at all times and mentioned her degree nine times in her single-page biography.

And why not? She earned that shit.

The Bullshit:
Eh, maybe not. After years of this, a low-level employee in the government did some digging and found out that Callahan's Ph.D., and actually all three of her degrees, had been purchased from an online diploma mill within the space of one year. In a cunning move that would impress the highest pedigree of master criminals, Callahan had them all back dated to make it appear she received them at the appropriate points in her career.

Let us remind you: Department of Homeland Security's Deputy Chief Information Officer. That meant Callahan was privy to highly classified material and was responsible for kind of important things like, well, homeland security. All thanks to three fake degrees that managed to fool the federal government but were no match for some random guy with Google.

Of course this has to make you wonder if other high-level federal employees pulled the same trick. Thankfully the Government Accountability Office looked into it and only found about 500 people who did the same thing, more than half in the Department of Defense.

Manufacturers aren't protecting us ... they are only distancing themselves from liability. They only care about their bottom lines and could care less if we eat toothpaste.
