    Default Defense jContractor KBR Bans Personal Cell Phones

    Security breach? Are contractors privy to sensitive American security issues? If so, why?

    Source: Associated Press

    HOUSTON -

    Defense contractor KBR Inc. said it has banned the sue of personal cell phones by its employees in Iraq for security reasons.

    In an e-mail to The Associated Press on Saturday night, KBR spokeswoman Heather L. Browne confirmed the company had notified its employees in Iraq that use of personal cell phones is prohibited.

    Browne said the decision was because of "a safety and security concern." She declined to elaborate, but did say KBR officials are reviewing the matter that led to the directive.

    The Houston-based company split off from Halliburton in 2007..........

    KBR was once the parent of Halliburton. What has changed?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What are they trying to hide?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    Its possible they did it to cut down on expenses and blamed it on security. Allot of construction companies are banning personal cell phones because guys are making phone calls and texting when they should be working. If they blame it on security then the employees cant complain.
    "If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
    Samuel Adams
