This government is committed to standing on its own two feet." Lange believed the statement. Even as Prime Minister, no one had told him about the ECHELON Dictionary system and the way the new station would fit in. P43 His first experience of the UKUSA alliance was its security 'indoctrination' (they really use this word). The indoctrination was done by GCSB security officer Don Allan, and consisted of a strict lecture about never, for the rest of his life, talking about his job with anyone except other indoctrinated people. GCSB workers are forbidden to say anything about their work, even to their partners. The indoctrination concluded with Holmes signing the two page indoctrination form, which refers to New Zealand laws for punishing infringements (in the Crimes Act) but which originates primarily

If you look up computer security literature and read up on security incidents, you'll notice none are more articulate about inside-employee incidents other than to describe the people as "disgruntled employees". Wrong. I'll go over some of the major categories of incidents I encountered. Keyword monitoring is abstract to most people;
