      I refer to this as the Mojo Bag Theory of Firewall Purchase. The
idea is that you buy one and just having it keeps away the evil eye. :-)
(Burning incense in front of the firewall may or may not be a "best

Burning incense in the presence of a firewall  is soooooo medieval (and,
more often
than not,  sets off the halogen sensors)........a more contemporary "best
practice" is 
periodically waving a Junior Auditor over the firewall.


Works for me,
