Will NASA Meet Its DAR Implementation Deadline?

NASA Internal Memo: Breach of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Update
“NASA has reallocated resources and has been working overtime to achieve the goal of 100 percent laptop encryption as quickly as possible and has made tremendous progress. In the past few weeks, more than 11,000 laptops have been encrypted, and, as of December 17th, NASA had encrypted 32,500 laptops, or about 85 percent of the laptops requiring encryption.”
Keith’s note: Today is 21 Dec i.e. the deadline set for complete laptop encruption. They have had more than a month to do this – and they expect to complete encryption of 15% of NASA’s laptops in just one day – just before the Christmas/New Year holidays when everyone is disappearing on annual leave?
