What kind of AS?
An AS used by a military organization that has authority over its users
and can through them in the brig for failing to follow commands and
policy?
An AS used by a commercial enterprise that has authority over its users
and can fire them for failing to follow commands and policy?
An AS used by a university enterprise that has authority over its users
and can expell them for failing to follow commands and policy?
An AS used by a service provider that has authority over its users and
can terminate their network access for failing to follow commands and
policy?
An AS used by a public agency that is required by law to permit all
citizens access to information until proven beyond reasonable doubt the
access was misused?
