   You would think so.  My limited experience with government programming   
   shops and web applications would be that, due to the pay gap vs. private   
   industry, the talent pool would be limited.   
      
   They'd either wind up with something not too secure or some "closed   
   source" application that was created "for government use" by a third-party.   
      
   That experience comes from watching employee turn over rates, and also from   
   working on disaster recovery exercises, where your inadvertantly learn some   
   things about what the web apps are doing in the background (like making   
   calls to servers for CSS, etc., that are outside of the government server   
   network).  Lots of "no-nos" can be exposed when doing disaster recovery on   
   a closed network.  ;)
