> Penalties don't work for government agencies. Taxpayers would pay for it and it doesn't act as an incentive.

This is the same as the rogue police problem in the US. What needs to happen is a shift to personal liability for those responsible.

Personal liability? Are you also against no blame culture that is prevalent in the tech world?

Someone(s), somewhere, is paid "big bucks" to be in charge.

That's the person we should charge. If they cannot be charged for this kind of fuck-ups, then they should not be paid anything for simply rubber-stamping anything going over their desk. A simple machine could do their job.
