Several electronic road construction signs around Anchorage were hacked late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning, according to the state Department of Transportation.
Signs that normally display closure and detour information, like the one on Minnesota Drive near 100th Avenue, were changed to read “Impeach Obama.” That particular sign wasn’t fixed until sometime between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. Thursday.
It happened because DOT says it doesn't lock the boxes on the signs that hold the message control pad.
Construction managers say sign-hacking has never happened before, so they never thought to lock the boxes.

I have three witnesses who will swear I was somewhere else.
That is nothing, hacking the the e-boards is simple.
The real challenge is making a copy right down to the same color, does not have to be solar powered, just a mockup made of wood, a working copy that can be lost.
Then you build a couple dozen for your average town and you place them in high traffic corridors, just pull off the highway, drop the hitch, activate and leave.
the next step is to hack the Amber Alerts.

"It happened because DOT says it doesn't lock the boxes on the signs that hold the message control pad."
Then why doesn't it say:
"I Love Obama?"

Yes hacking Amber Alerts shows the depth and passion to wage a war against oppression, by any means available.
ANY means available.
