(Among the obvious targets are model shops; one can arrange to divert *anything* from a model shop. I recall a case locally where an employee of a model shop at a highly secure Federal installation had diverted enough materials to build a spiral stairway in his house worth $15K: http://www.nytimes.com/1988/11/06/us/gift-orders-filled-at-top-secret-shop-of-colorado-nuclear-weapon-plant.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm But no maple syrup.) But the principle is the same as staggering vacations in financial institutions to dissolve collusions. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
