Absolutely. Easy to get in the building, easy to kick out of the building. We've got two government employees that we'd love to get rid of, but as long as they have a pulse it's nearly impossible to do so. I can sneeze and blow a contractor out of the building and never think twice about it. Getting rid of government employed deadweight takes an act of Congress (not really, but much more involved).
