Security at BATF

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

I heard on National Radio News today that the BATF had to handle Security manually versus their Y2K compliant computer system. Has anyone heard the same and confirmed a news release??

A mention in this article at CNN. <:)=

http://www.cnn.com/2 000/US/01/01/y2k.wrap/

"A security system recently installed to prevent Y2K problems at one office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms failed. Guards were posted while the system was replaced."

Nice twist to the first release. The radio report stated very clearly that the Y2K compliant system was not working. The info probably should not have been officially released at all. Thank you for the LINK.
