My father was a police officer for 30 years before "retiring" to take a job as security chief at a bank for another 10 years.

There were always investigations into missing funds, so he grew quite good at figuring those out. One of his most reliable indicators was the presence of an over-qualified employee. Idle minds truly are the devil's playground.

Just something to consider, as you can bet that the HR and IT-manager types have been briefed on this already...
