Dave -
The SJ Mercury News today is reporting the following alarming story. 
Don't know if this is just a ruse to support the monitoring proposal:

Giving the help the evil eye: Two of the government's top
 computer security experts are warning that some
 programmers hired to fix Year 2000 problems may be quietly
 installing malicious software code to sabotage companies
 or give themselves access to sensitive information after
 the new year.
