It is routinely used by Americans and some UK government departments. Most
commercial organisations do not use the term properly but like to bandy it
about when some middle manger has read a fiction novel. I am convinced Ricky
Gervais has based his roles on people who work for the companies I visit.

COMSEC requires no paranoia and, in fact, is normally based on a realistic
assessment of the threat. If COMSEC gets out of hand companies do cease
trading.

Nope. I know for a fact that Iraqi schools had books and pencils as recently

period.

The US agreed to work towards normal relations. One does not do this by
working to cut off their use of the world bank for exchange.
