The primary reason that the U.S. Military stopped using Checkpoint is
because they are an Israeli company--the US Gov't is very paranoid, as it
should be, and there have been cases where Isreal has been caught spying on
the US. I believe that Checkpoint has since been reinstated as a viable
option, but I don't have any documentation I can point to on this. I got
this information from a Military contractor while providing FW support for
Raptor.

I would be mighty curious to know *WHY* they bailed on FW-1. Is
there any place I can read up on this? Did Checkpoint ever *respond*
to whatever their issues were?
Inquiring mind wants to know ...
