I have first hand personal knowledge of 2 CISSPs who were brought to the
attention of ISC2 for (a) forging a college diploma, and (b) participating
in a blatant fraud against one of their clients, respectively.

And we all know of the great numbers of CISSPs who could not *possibly*
have met the minimum practice requirements (hrmmm... You're 17, and you
meet the prereqs?  Yeah, riiighttt.).

ISC2 cert is not policed, and therefore, it is worthless.  Worse than
worthless, as it purports to "certify" the character and nature of a
certificate holder, and does so while making zero attempt to actually
insure the implied endorsement is both valid and warranted.

I like the idea of belief in drug-prohibition as a religion in that it is
a strongly held belief based on grossly insufficient evidence and
bolstered by faith born of intuitions flowing from the very beliefs they
are intended to support.
