NASA Exec in Child Porn Probe

Federal agents last week raided the office of NASA program executive James Robinson on suspicion he has viewed and traded child pornography, The Smoking Gun reports. According to an affidavit filed in federal court, Robinson was caught in an undercover investigation led by U.S. postal inspectors. NASA's inspector general also apparently turned the agency's technology against the executive, using a state-of-the-art "skin tone filtering system" to conclude that he was viewing child porn from his office computer.

To make matters worse, the news came in the same week as this announcement.
