Summary: Poses the question, given the existence of red switches, what is an "orange switch" or "purple switch"?
Comments:  Not a major motion picure, however...


While talking with a potential supplier of some hardware, the supplier's
sales representative mentioned using some particular pieces of equipment
as a "red switch, ... or orange switch or purple switch, depending on
[our particular] needs."

I think I understand the notion of a red switch, but being that the true
foundations of communications security are outside my realm of expertise,
might anyone here speculate on what an orange or purple switch is?
