What percent of the material on the Security+ is covered by the CISSP?

What percent of the material on the Security+ is covered by the CISSP? (I know the CISSP has a lot more stuff)

Is it 100%, or are there somethings in the Security+ not on the CISSP?

TIA

Giving the objectives on the Security+ exam a quick look-over, I don't see anything that could not possibly appear on the CISSP exam. I think the 2008 revision of the Security+ exam was heavily influenced by the CISSP CBK. This is one reason why passing the Security+ is a good preparation for the CISSP.

Practically copied two or three chapters right out of the CBK from what i've been reviewing. JDM is right on.
