There’s several comments in this thread pointing out that given a certain level of access, intentionally bypassing policy is possible in any organization. What I don’t think is being given due consideration is how often the people with this access are contractors, and worse often foreign nationals, which even in civilian orgs like the FAA has serious national security implications. The West has an addiction to foreign IT contractors. It’s a many hundreds of billions yearly industry globally, and is only possible because the largest and most critical institutions in our society refuse to invest in people to keep this knowledge in house and grow their own trained workforce.
