The author of the original "Tiger Team" concept responded to a couple
of critical postings with some rebuttals.  As I read them, he defended
the TT concept by emphasizing, several times, that the TT would be
checking compliance with anti-viral policies.

I ask, if this *is* the goal, couldn't the corporation provide a
configuration test program that checked for the existence of
corporation-approved software and methods without introducing a virus,
and requiring all the intermediate overhead of special backups, etc.?
