Your rant is my rant, believe me. This is *not* my idea. I can't imagine it will actually happen, but I have to get the information from the sources to give the customer the actual ludicrously high prices of such AND the ludicrous lack of security that goes along with it. Here, we have the database behind lots of various security. Giving it to anyone else, who is not a government contractor... *shivers* And I don't think I'll address that BTW, up there. ;-)
