Tenix Datagate is an excellent product but provides a genuine one-way data path (simplex overflow only, no handshaking) 
by using an opto-isolator.  It is a specialised product that allows system A to broadcast data to system B but totally 
prevents the export of any information from B to A (hence its ITSEC E6 rating).
Browsing the internet from a computer that works at SECRET is a concept that will give any security specialist 
nightmares, be VERY careful and get approval for your solution FIRST.
The best solution might well be to provide additional PCs for those who NEED regular internet access and shared PCs for 
those who need it occasionally.
