Re: WFAA Uses a Hammer to Smash a Fly
Tim, sorta yes and sorta no. WFAA definitely approached this like they’d found the Lindbergh baby. (Am I dating myself?) Organizations from Radio Shack to the Department of Veterans of Affairs have left personal info in trash bins, on laptops left on park benches, and what not. It’s going to happen because people can be lazy and stupid. (All the more reason for people to refuse to give out Social Security numbers to Blockbuster or to the local school.) But one of the comments was right — Hexter being a great school isn’t going to console someone who gets his identity stolen.

Trey, you are a celebrity (somewhat). You should never “date yourself,” I’m sure some Frontburner groupie would go to dinner with you.
Trey has hot wife…have proof.
That’s Lindbergh. With an H. Guess you’re too young to know how to spell it.
Yes, “people can be lazy and stupid.” That’s not newsworthy unless their laziness and stupidity harms someone. And sometimes even conscientious and smart people just make mistakes, which isn’t newsworthy either.
Actually Trey if Hexter is so great then that fact probably would console anyone whose identity was at risk in this matter, as those people were among the employees of the school. DISD was part of the reason I chose to leave Dallas, but I am sure that the employees involved with the parts of it that work are very proud of their accomplishments. Identity theft is a serious problem but accidents happen and people get over it. I certainly wouldn’t leave my own job over a mistake like that.
