  • DOD Excess Property: Control Breakdowns Present Significant Security Risk and Continuing Waste and Inefficiency, Full-text GAO-06-943, and Highlights, July 25, 2006: “GAO investigators posing as private citizens purchased several sensitive military equipment items from DOD’s liquidation sales contractor, indicating that DOD has not enforced security controls for preventing sensitive excess military equipment from release to the public. GAO investigators at liquidation sales purchased ceramic body armor inserts currently used by deployed troops, a cesium technology timing unit with global positioning capabilities, a universal frequency counter, two guided missile radar test sets, 12 digital microcircuits used in F-14 fighter aircraft, and numerous other items. GAO was able to purchase these items because controls broke down at virtually every step in the excess property turn-in and disposal process.”
