>From my alerter service:

"Under a Green paper published on February 12, 2002, the Foreign Secretary proposes to introduce measures to regulate the use of private military companies used by foreign rulers to control rebellions. The proposals would require UK firms offering military or security services abroad to be licensed, to notify the Government of any contracts accepted, join a trade association and conform to a code of conduct which would include abiding to human rights and the laws of war."

Another basis for controlling the supply of computer system security services? Another call for vigilance.
