To anybody on this list in NYC that is involved with the aftermath of the
attack,

As investigators we have all overlooked a critical issue in the wake of the
attacks on the WTC towers. The firms in those buildings consisted of
Government Agencies, Financial Institutions, Brokerages, Law Firms, and
other businesses whose systems would contain extremely sensitive data. The
systems from these buildings will be getting hauled off in the trucks to the
landfill where they will become easy prey to crooks, hackers, and other
nefarious individuals. Granted, many of the systems "may" be totally
destroyed and the data irretrievably gone.... but there will be many that
data can be scrubbed back from. Somehow efforts should be made to ensure
that any computers taken from the site be immediately buried deep to thwart
the bad guys from getting them.

Call me an alarmist... just don't call me late to the dinner table!
