1. You're out with some friends from the firm. You get to talking about clients and the fascinating problems they raise. Everyone around the table responds with a new "can you top this" client problem. You're in the middle of a really fascinating client problem and describe in some detail the problem you face. Unbeknown to you, some senior managers from you firm are sitting at a neighboring table. They overhear you telling your friends confidential information about the client. Would management be justified in firing you for your breach of client confidentiality?

2. You're in the middle of a heavy conversation with another consultant working for the same client. The two of you get on an elevator - it's many floors down to the ground. Other people get on and you continue your conversation. Confidential information of a very sensitive nature is discussed, albeit in a low voice. Have you done anything wrong?

3. You're on a long flight and have your laptop computer with you on the plane. You use the time available to you to work on a presentation you are due to make later in the week. The presentation covers sensitive information about your firm - you're going to propose that the firm drop it support for some older applications. Several hours into the flight you notice that the person sitting in the next seat is paying attention to what you are writing. What do you do?
