[ale] cabling and GA

[Greg Freemyer]

Scott,

As to licensing, what an employee does for his employer is totally
different from what a non-employee can do for that same company.

I can't confirm Jim's statement that a only a licensed electrician can
sell the service of laying cable, but assuming its accurate does not
imply anything about what an internal IT person can do it with no
license.

That is how my profession works.  ie. If I was an employee of a
Fortune 500 company, then I can legally run around internally
investigation other employees without a PI license, but since I'm with
a service provider I have to have a PI license in order to "collect
evidence for use in trial".

ie. You've just been terminated and I am tasked with asking you to
turn over any company owned thumb drives.  Legally I need to have a PI
license to do such ??? work.
