recruitment stealth episode 2 the farce continues...

why cant they understand the ramifications? as a parent a high priority learning to impart is the whole actions and consequences feedback loop. now if my 3 kids get it and the youngest being 7, i cant understand how the defense dept still don't get the significance of their tmp outsourcing arrangement. 

here is the guts of the Crikey snippet from today's edition:

ASIO must be getting at least some clue from reading the recent Crikey article on how pathetically bad and insecure its current recruitment process is as its website has changed the email address for applications to analyst@tmpworldwide.com.au. Prior to the Crikey article appearing it wasintelligence@tmpworldwide.com.au. TMP, a private recruitment company and a foreign one at that, will still have a record of all candidates which must clearly mean the identity of all new ASIO intelligence operatives will be know to TMP and to its foreign parent. It boggles the mind that for an organisation that is into the cloak and dagger stuff as much as ASIO seems to have no clue on how to be secure. Is it asking too much for ASIO to follow some basic security? I was thinking of actually applying as the role seemed quite interesting and worthwhile, but given they don't seem to know the basics of security, I can't be bothered. Not a very effective recruitment tool, is it.
