This is only possible when you take all the policies developed to
comply with both the law and executive orders and chuck them right out
the window. At that point you're operating with no authority and all
of the responsibility, which is grounds for termination even if what
you do actually works. Especially if you're a contractor as the
majority of operations folks in the Federal government are.
