If you admit that it is unfortunate, you admit that something must change.
Don't accept problems. Solve them. Otherwise, you are the problem, too.

You've missed the point that we're not discussing economy. We are
discussing securing our American government's most security intensive
networks relative to a nation's infrastructure. In that fashion it
is *very* dangerous. If you can not see that, you shouldn't be in
this business. But, hey, DHS made the mistake, too. Hopefully, they
wont learn the hard way like the FBI did (to a lesser extent) with
CALEA.
