Alert readers will recall my year-long battle to learn the details of an August 2005 failure of the $400 million US-VISIT system. Highlights include the DHS's Bureau of Customs and Border Protection asking me to drop the matter, then losing the paperwork, and finally denying the request in its entirety, all to avoid revealing that it made mistakes in leaving the border screening system open to attack.
