True, no system can "force" users to use complex passwords, but enabling password complexity along with a stringent password policy (history/length etc..) and regular lc audits go along way. The point is, this guy's response is a joke and blame shifting for problems on his systems shows how irresponsible he is. To me, the best thing at this point for info sec at the DHS would be a little thing called accountability and leadership.
