Bill, I'm still chuckling at your choices..... but though choice D appears to be a bit tongue in cheek, it did bring to mind a circumstance in Texas from many years ago. In the "old days" of microfilm, the Texas Department of Corrections established a low-cost microfilm service bureau. The idea was to provide training to inmates that they could use on the outside....... Ostensibly, that's not a bad idea. Sadly, since convicted felons cannot always be counted on to reform, the Department's customers later learned that at least some convicts were gleaning personal identifying information from many of the records being microfilmed....and using that information for illicit purposes, including threats of violence against witnesses, etc. Doug Allen, CRM, CDIA+ -----Original Message----- From: Records Management Program [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Roach, Bill J.

Internal processing by folks that deal with the information every day. B. Processing by a local service bureau who is dependent on working with you in the future. C. Processing by an overseas service bureau that processes documents for dozens of organizations world wide. D. Processing by an organization staffed by folks who spend their days and nights behind bars because they have already proven their willingness to break the law. Some may say the risks are equal, I don't buy it for a minute.
