That's not what I'm talking about.

I was referring to the former but the latter is the case too, but don't worry, DHS employees looking at porn at their homes is not what I was talking about. Maybe if it was illegal pornography (i.e., child pornography) then it could be a different story, but that's distinct from what I was referring to.

DHS pays contractors to monitor websites. Some at the agency mentioned here http://flyertalk.com/forum/showpost....11&postcount=9 know it, but if that doesn't lead you places then just shop around with some private parties retained to monitor websites for the federal government.

That mentioned here http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0209/p01s02-uspo.html is not a one and only, "dead" or alive through that window of opportunity that comes through obscuring "public-private partnerships".

I'm not always or generally going to put up URLs, so consider this a start to point interested persons in the right direction to try to discover things on their own; in any case not everything is on the internet and somethings come by way of far more material dealings, including remunerative relationships.
