Chinese walls versus Security

The idea that everything is interconnected, and relies on such to work, therefor reinforcing the original rule, is quite an interesting premise, to say the least.

I wonder how organisations trusted with national security would reply to such a discussion? The various spy agencies around the world emply a myriad of techniques to lock down environments, but more importantly information.

Should they just throw open their doors to state secrets?

I think its fair to say that there are ways and means of achieving security. The real discussion here is not so much technical. Rather, its why a journalist seems to have misunderstood that there is a cultural issue at play, yet blindly stands upon the plinth of technology, proclaiming all things should be open.

Tut tut.

Perhaps you should go back to school and learn a little more about cultural relations.
