His actions are understandable

As a system administrator myself, I am in a similar situation to Terry Childs - surrounded by incompetent admins who just want to make something work and don't consider the security consequences of their actions. It's a shame so few people have a moral and ethical standard high enough to take such a step to secure identifying data, and bring such problems to light. I hope he will be released from prison soon, and be given the positive recognition he deserves.
