I absolutely agree that we don't want to burden the system with a lot of unnecessary consideration, but if people are going out to buy flags or whatever, it's pretty clear that there are no security issues there. It's when you get into defence construction contracts, for example, where we noted that for 99% of them there was no checklist done. At a minimum, there could be an indication that someone has considered the security aspects and has made a clear determination that there is no security. Previously that wasn't obvious, and so you didn't know if people had considered the security aspects.
At the risk of getting into a debate, in the NORAD project the security checklist was not completed, and there was no indication about security requirements, and so the people who were doing the contracting wouldn't know what clearances people should have. It's really up to the people who are running the projects to make that determination. Otherwise the people in Public Works, the contracting authorities, have no way of knowing--
