To keep this somewhat on topic, there is a general security parallel here that applies to planes, networks, millitary weapons and anything else you can imagine. Someone on the inside with nothing to lose can essentially always get past security. These people had spent years training to be pilots. Taking another couple of years to be actual employed pilots of an air carrier would probably have been something they were willing to do, putting them right at the controls. Employees behind firewalls can always copy the company secrets to a floppy and mail them to whoever they want. [..]

Our "security" measures didn't work. Lets not bother with "security" at all.
