But to the point.. I want to know whether they published any information relating to data protection against unauthorized access. I'm interested in it because government organisations tend to allow access to more bureaucrats than neccessary. They also leave security to third parties, like here in Czech Republic: Czech Ministry of interior outsourced IT infrastructure to the Czech Post and Czech Post will be privatized in near future. So IT infrastructure for police and secret agencies here will be managed by private company. :-) Anyone?
That's the way it has been in the States "forever." In fact, last I saw, Lenevo still had the contract to install and manage the Pentagon's network infrastructure. Still another artifact of the Rumsfeldian DoD is that 85% of the software for the advanced strike fighter is being developed offshore. Jon K - -- Jon R.
