So let me get this straight.

1: you put SSNs in plaintext on a web page
2: you get mad that someone clicked "view source"
3: your actual Highway Patrol patrols the information superhighway?

  @aaronpk So puzzling. If he'd said nothing, this news would've been a blip in the scheme of things and pretty much nobody would care. "Oh. Incompetent government website. Whatever...." But he turned it into a spectacle with a public hissy fit.

  I know it's unethical. But I almost applaud people that do stuff like this...because...it shows the flaws in the system. Not knowing "computer stuff" in 2021 isn't cute anymore lol In reality, states and companies need to HIGHLY invest in good coders, cybersecurity staff, etc.
