That would make sense too...there are some form of government offices in just about every town. I would think that would be a lot cheaper than sending someone to Iraq or any other hostile zone in the world to do a job that could be done anywhere (sans the security issues).

Now THAT makes perfect sense, and I can see it from that scenario. But that's really the only reason why a secret clearance couldn't telecommute. :) You can't throw the hardware and internet connection at me. SOooooo. Based on that. 2nd question. Why cant the person commute to a government office here in the states? The office in Iraq has to be associated with a place here in the states. DC? Why endanger civilians in Iraq? Keep their workstation in a government controlled building. For the record, I'm not trying to be difficult... but it is a huge expense, ... so I'm just curious. :) Is it because it's not really a government office, but a contractor that got a contract?

The government knows this and they know that they can't guarantee that the bad guys won't get physical access with telecommuters. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:327003 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
