Keith's right, nothing irregular about this - especially in a post 9/11
world. Because of the significant breaches and the numerous *close
calls* that we've had since 1997 this sort of thing is standard fare.
Government/Military Tech Writers often have access to data across many
departments within an organization. An engineer or scientist may only
have access within a given sphere. Because they have their fingers in so
many pies, it's imperative to ensure that those fingers are clean. Yes,
it is both very evil and very necessary. But she isn't writing assembly
manuals for tricycles..... - We all know what working for NASA means.
Still, I hope thinks work out well for her.

Blessings,

Darren

I don't know. I looked up Foster's record and she seemed very

intelligent and capable, with shrewd judgment. Maybe there is more

going on than meets the eye. I sent it to the list out of curiosity

about what other technical writers are thinking, especially since I

know there are many people on this list with military or goverment

experience.
