Try stressing the security aspect of open source. I understand that the
forces	are quite interested in security. Point out that if you have the
source you can	
check to ensure it isn't doing anything nasty.

Someone told me recently that GCHQ refuse to run any software which
isn't open source or delivered with source for this reason. I don't know
where to verify this.
