Arlington National Cemetery records found

Posted on June 24, 2011 by Dissent

UPI reports:

A congressional subcommittee was told 59 boxes of records about people buried in Arlington National Cemetery turned up in an unsecured Virginia storage locker.

The boxes contained the names and social security numbers of the decedents but the risk of anyone’s personal identification being compromised is low, officials said in a Washington Post report Friday.

The manager of the storage facility discovered the boxes when he went to clear out the unit after he was unable to collect rental payment.

Okay, I realize that some will argue that this isn’t really a breach as there’s no protection after death, but it just strikes me as so disrespectful….

      The more I think about it, the more I’m inclined to agree with you.
