Channel 2 News, Anchorage "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.
"DOT says that changed this morning, and now all of them will be locked."
Well, not exactly hacked in the geek sense; more like someone opened the panel and made a software change. As you drive America's highways, expect to see these with locks on them from now on.
