    Nick,

    Few outside the security establishment read this report or know of its existence, so I don't believe it was created to promote fear. I simply found it informative, as it gathers news stories that I had not found through my usual sources for news.

    Here are a couple of example from that same report. These are all embarrassing stories for the industries involved, and are likely not widely promoted outside of the communities or organizations directly effected.

    • Texas A&M University will pay a $1 million fine for security breaches in its biodefense research program, the largest such penalty ever imposed by the federal government.

    • The number of “inattentive” security guards found at U.S. nuclear power plants more than doubled last year, documents from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) show.

    • Toxic chemicals associated with gasoline production have been found in the groundwater beneath a part of Torrance, California, officials said Tuesday.
