There will come a time when the Federal work force is more closely monitored than it already is, but the fact is that politicians will always have an "out." As technologies change, they will continue to have flexible options that you may know about...but...you won't be able to touch them.

You are referring to the professional protocols that are in place at all levels of government. Ethical standards which make sense, but are not adhered to.

The only hope is a wistleblower with some backup tapes to come out in the open, which has a 0.00001% chance of happening anyway.

I know it's far less strict for lower levels of civil employment... but not these guys.
