Since we haven't seen much public about just what happened, I suppose 
we can
assume that it was the usual careless lax security.

I *am* curious if the perpretrators left a trail.  I'm not sure that 
I'd want
to be caught by the Justice Department.  "Oh, please!  Make an example 
of me!
I want you to use me as your test case!"  ;-)

The sad thing is that if they're good enough to be a real threat, they 
probably won't get caught.  If they were amateurs, they'll have an 
example
made of them.
