Citrix Web Interface - VPN - public computer...secure??

We have a Citrix Secure Gateway that some of our employees use for web VPN access from home. The Citrix Gateway 
provides users with published applications and desktops and has a valid SSL Cert. We have policies that all must sign 
agreeing to have some type of firewall enabled, OS patches and anti-virus software up to date. The policy also states 
that no user is to connect to the Citrix Gateway from a "public computer" or from a public hot spot. I've been asked if 
we could change this policy to allow connections from public computers and hot spots but I'm not sure how secure this 
would be. Would this be considered safe to allow this type of access? Why or why not?
 
Thanks,
Don
