A manager once told me, people usually assume a conspiracy or motive when the truth is it’s usually simple incompetence.
It is quite plausible that in an understaffed facility the infrastructure would also be in a state of disrepair.
What amuses me having run a department of 50 people with keeping things contained and avoiding leaks was next to impossible. And yet people believe these massive conspiracies that would require 100’s of people involved somehow are supposed to be iron clad. Hillary has killed hundreds etc..
