Okay DHS web site people, this has gone too far.
What is going on with the new standard error message: “Access Denied. You are
not authorized to view the web page you are attempting to load.”
I am seeing this crop up on too many public DHS web
pages that I routinely check. I know that it is not a mistyping issue; I use a
standard list of sites that I prepared and now just click on the links; those
links have worked fine in the past.
Now all muckrakers are a tad bit paranoid, so my
heart skips a beat when I see this on a new web site. My first thought is
always “Have I finally pushed DHS too far?” After I take a quick breath I
realize that this is probably just a new default that web site scripters are
using for some inexplicable reason. Unfortunately, it seems that once this
affliction hits a web site it becomes permanent.
This is currently in use for the following pages:
http://www.dhs.gov/2014-chemical-security-summit
(the one that set me off today);
Let’s get this fixed. Paranoia already afflicts too
many people when it comes to DHS operations. We don’t need to expand that list.
