no doubt. that's a side effect of working for an organization so big that 
security is "someone else's job" and the sysadmin can't be bothered with 
it. it becomes a very serious issue when someone then uses that experience 
to get a job where they can be dangerous... IT security just doesn't have 
any relevance to this guy, despite a (military) resume that hints 
otherwise.
