If your company has good governance policies, they you should be able to display your (unusually) superior grasp of data handling, security knowledge, and PC competency. You should be able to demonstrate to IT that you are able to handle both increased authority and responsibility in this area.
Within my company's site there are exactly 3-4 people that fall into this category.
The rest surf recklessly, can't be bothered to check wired connections, and ask: "CPU... Is that the big black thing with the green light on the front?".
When people fail to take responsibility for their own education and safety, then the Lowest Common Denominator goes pretty low.
Actually, the ideas presented in the article are not that bad. In my mind, the author may be tainted by the association with CAP, but that just means that you have to apply a bit more scrutiny to his post.
CfA does not sound like a bad idea, keeping in mind that the person who develops code is free to do whatever he wants to do with it, in keeping with Conservative principles. Collective action is neither a product of the Right or the Left, but is the basis of a lot of good that is done (and done rightly) for the country.
After all, if this member of the CAP has his hand out asking for help, you know that he's not using the same hand to pick your pocket.
(With his origin in the CAP tho... Keep an eye on his other hand! ;-)
