Gerhard said that his client, the US f ederal entity acronym ed  LUGA (Large 
Unnamed Government Agency), thought it was a security problem and eliminated 
the possibility that it could happen again when Gerhard showed how easy it was 
to do it.

I'm not sure why Gerhard thinks that is a security problem, gil. But certainy 
if users push jobs through the INTRDR directly (as opposed to via TSO/E SUBMIT 
or ISPF SUB) then you can't depend on any restrictions imposed by IKJEFF10; you 
would have to use JES or SMF exits. 

Actually, I'm not sure you can stop users from allocating an INTRDR and still 
allow them to submit jobs from TSO, since even SUBMIT goes through the INTRDR. 
So I've never believed in using IKJEFF10 to enforce installation restrictions 
on job content.
