Government Specific Changes in Panther?

MacTeens.com posts a report that the login interface files from a recent build of Panther (7B53) contains text and images for a U.S. Government specific login interface.

Embedded images include seals for the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Department of Defense, Nactional Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and U.S. Public Health Service.

Another recent report noted that Mac OS X was recently added to a list of computer platforms officially supported by the U.S. Federal Government.

The implication of these files is left to speculation, as it is unknown whether there are already plans to deploy Mac OS X systems in government departments.
