Webster defines redaction “as an act or instance of editing.” Sounds pretty simple doesn’t it? Well it’s not. I define redacting as “one of the scariest tasks performed in a law office.” I realize that I am often prone to exaggeration, but I implore you to heed my warning this time.
Do you recall back in December when the Department of Homeland Security posted on their Web site their procedures for profiling potential terrorists and an employee of Homeland Security didn’t properly redact the document? Scary stuff, unless of course you are a terrorist, because now you know all the Department of Homeland Security’s tricks.
