Air Force develops portable security solution

The CD book disk with a secure operating system can convert a spyware-laden PC into a secure government machine.

Agencies are much more mobile now. But sometimes that mobility makes it harder to work on a secure government computer. Now the researchers over at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base have a solution.
