VPNs are not the Holy Grail for network security. As a matter of fact, I am suggesting that our project dump its VPN. VPNs are only secure when both ends of the tunnel are electronically and physically secure, something that no one can insure with 99.5% certainty.

You know, now that I think about it, if they are so worried, why not just set up a VPN?
