Yeah, riiggghhhtttt.....

If they would actually enforce this requirement, then the CISSP *might*
mean something.  But they are fully aware of the outright fraudulent
CISSPs they are churning out (after all, they get the money either way,
why should they be self-policing?) - let's see, how many 18 year olds have
5 years experience???  Now, how many have CISSPs after going to a 1 week
"Boot Camp".

All of these certifications are now completely worthless, as they all
suffer from this defect.  And the certifying bodies have brought ruin,
rather than respect, to our profession.
