When security is involved and where money is involved I agree, there should be no excuses. Same with what happened with Sony and facebook. Mind you some idiots on facebook the info people can get on others from there is unreal. My favourite is with CV's when they put the email address on it use facebook to search for it soon find out there not the person they describe themselves to be. That enjoys nights in with family and countryside walks, with pictures of them pi$$ed out there faces knickers around the ankles... My type of classy lady Or the lads with black eyes or in A&E after a football match brawl.
