You have, at the broadest level, physical and virtual. Physical people deal with things like servers, switches, copiers, phones, etc. Virtual people deal with things like software support, development, databases, etc. Generally, organizations are aligned with three broad buckets: Development, Infrastructure, and Support. Security is a role as well, but many organizations place security outside of the broader IT organization.

If you want to have structured rigidity to your role (ie, not asked to do things you feel outside it), you should probably seek out a larger organization. Understand, however, that you'll likely grow further and faster as a professional in an organization where you are asked to stretch those boundaries. Do you want to be the world's most awesomest developer focused on x technology stack, or do you want to be a well-rounded IT professional with the skills and background to thrive in any environment? Maybe I'm just biased, but with a 25 year career spanning help desk, server and network admin, database administration and development, fifteen years of web app dev, and now seven years of security, I vote for well-rounded. Without all that time doing all those "other things", I would not be able to be effective in my current role.

The Skyhawk may not be to OP's liking as it's a bit Flava Flav-esque, but don't let that dissuade you from Citizen Eco-Drive. I've been rocking a titanium Citizen for fifteen years now as well. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fc2.staticflickr.com%2F4%2F... is an image of one of its brothers. They're built like a tank, never need a battery replacement (though eventually the rechargeable will need changing, but that is possible), and this one has the benefit of having a countdown timer in the digital portion of it.

If you want to go all-out nerd cred, there are upgraded versions that will receive WWVB (and its global peers) timekeeping broadcasts, or even full on GPS time from the satellites. They do have a bluetooth-enabled line called Proximity, but I'm suspect of any consumer technology-tied device with a long projected lifespan, as the lifecycles are totally different.

He was a film maker--An artist. The Musem of the Rockies is not in business to support pornography.

I think I saw this in a movie once. Maybe we should ask Morgan Freeman how he feels about it?

Fortigate will do what you need out of the box, paired with Fortianalyzer.

The bigger question is WTH you're doing with this. You can't put monitoring software on the devices, but you can look at every last bit they send and receive? Legal issues are a far bigger problem when data is in transit (as in flying across the network) than when it's at rest on the device. You won't even see everything, as a lot is TLS-protected and if it's a phone, it can bypass the fixed network entirely. I somehow doubt that he's making his wife and kids agree to an AUP that allows this sort of monitoring.

"If you discover a vulnerable payment application and have specific information as to the payment application vendor, application version, where sensitive cardholder data is stored and vendor contact information, please notify Visa via email at cisp@visa.com."

I made more than twice that as a contractor. We got paid overtime and holidays worked with client approval, but it was straight time. When you're making $60 an hour, you don't ask too many questions about whether or not you're being treated fairly as a worker.

Nope. The song I heard included such gems as, "The worst part about it is the bitch that they can be; Just to kiss 'em they charge admission, when it used to all be free." and, "No wine, no flowers; Don't waste your cash. Because she has a bleeding gash." I think puerile sums it up nicely.

Back in my misspent youth some 20 years ago, someone gave me a song they swore was TMBG, recorded in someone's basement. The title was "On the Rag", and while the vocals bore some resemblance, the lyrics were predictably puerile. Was this really you guys, or was my friend just pulling my leg?

In a word, no.

The directive means they can't go looking for evidence of crimes that are not primary in their mission. If, during the course of their search to make sure you're not carrying contraband onto an airplane (ie, dangerous shit like knitting needles) they find prima facie evidence of a crime (your coke, a severed head, "interesting" pictures involving a horse), they'll turn you over to local law enforcement.

All this means is that they're limited to investigating air safety. Unless they stumble across something that is clearly illegal (and $4300 cash is NOT that), they cannot do anything. Even if they do find something interesting, they cannot detain you, as they are not law enforcement. Those two things are what the ACLU fought for here. Even though they're a bunch of data-profiling dickwads (and that was why I stopped my sponsorship of them), they do get it right now and then.
