There is no screening as they do for permanent hires, and they use temps in sensitive positions whre they shouldn't, like doing data entry of customer records.

but is this a bigger problem that stupid execs who carry laptops with sensitve employee data (Boeing, over 300,000 records), or the dummy who had a carload of un-encrypted backup media that was stolen?
