Fake JHACO Reps/Terrorism Memo

Published

We got a memo at work that another hospital had some Jhaco reps who had ID badges come for a visit. The reps were asked to wait while their ID's with JHACO were verified, and then they fled. Homeland Security is involved now, apparently. That was all the info we were given...but it sounded like they felt that these were potential terrorists casing the place.

I mean, who would want to pose as a JHACO rep? Weird stuff. Did anyone else hear about this?

About a year ago we had a thread on this. No one knows who they were.

A few years ago a car was spotted video taping all the hospitals in the city. The same car was spotted video taping an army base nearby.

Hospitals make potentially great soft targets. Minimum security, maximum emotional trauma factor and media brouhaha.

I know it is off subject but I can't seem to find the jhaco website. Does anyone know the web address. I need to find jhaco's quality indicators for a paper I am writing and I can't find them. Thanks!!
