The talking heads on MSN have said that it doesn’t matter if they are declassified or not. The fact they are defense department docs means they cannot be removed. And if they about nuclear…the President does not have the power to declassify them. ---

As an IT professional myself, you don’t post a WiFi password in plain sight if it’s something you’re really that concerned about. Notice that this is the “guest” WiFi network (per the name of the SSID) so it’s unlikely that anything secure is connected to it. The password is probably only there to discourage random people in proximity from connecting to it and slowing its bandwidth, but not as any kind of real security. You see something similar if you go to a restaurant with a guest WiFi, they’ll put the password up on the wall somewhere so that patrons can use it. But it’s not like that’s something secretive that can’t get out, they just don’t want anyone and everyone outside of the restaurant hooking up to it and slowing it down. ---

Well, sure for anyone of reasonable intelligence, but remember this is Eric Trump we’re talking about. ---

Little Trump doesn’t work at Fox News and didn’t install WAPs and label equipment. An IT professional did that. Eric probably can’t even spell “WiFi”. While it may look bad for Eric to put out that picture, I doubt very much it was a security breach or anything. For once, a Trump isn’t putting people in danger. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > For once, a Trump isn’t putting people in danger. Yeah. Someone probably had to change the password. Maybe a couple of signs, and website info for the public access. Probably everyone that just uses the public site will bitch to the Fox Service/Help desk though. That’s ok. Eric possibly caused FOX a bit of work. No danger though. Provided FOX isn’t THAT stupid. Oh, wait… ---

> “Eric Trump accidentally shares WiFi network and password during whiny Fox News appearance” The thing that’s hilarious about this isn’t about whether this was a particularly important password or not – it’s the ineffable congenital stupidity of that whole fucking family.
