Quote:The IRS commissioner claims the emails are stored on servers.
I don't care what he claims. You have no idea what kind of "security systems" they put on every computer. The IRS is maniacal about the privacy of tax information. Which is fairly amusing because it is of no value to anyone but that does not stop them from being paranoid about it. It is to the point where brand new, state of the art, laptop computers are reduced to wheezing donkeys pulling carts because of all the barriers they erect and then still expect the employees to get the job done promptly. ( I was a union official - I heard it all.) I wish I'd had a dollar for every time someone came to me to get their manager off their back because their computer was in the shop and there was literally NOTHING they could do until it was fixed.
So when someone tells me the computers are fucked up, yeah...I believe it because I lived it. I still have friends working there and they are worse off now than when I retired 10 years ago.
