A $170 Million Computer Error
A $170 million computer program designed to make it easier to share info on terrorists between FBI agents will be scrapped after only a month. Science Applications International Corp designed the program -- Virtual Case File. When it arrived in December, the FBI determined it was outdated and unusable. They are already looking for a replacement. The FBI's computer systems are antiquated and the bureau is in the middle of a $500 million, four-year overhaul. It looks like it just got $170 million more expensive. (MSNBC)
