    By suing a major institution like Georgia Tech, the US government seems to be firing a shot across the bow of all the other schools running labs with federal security money.

    That’s the big takeaway from the article. The vast majority of organizations, whether federally funded like this, or something like a private company under finance regulation, barely maintains compliance with regulation, if they even make a real effort at all. This is in the same category as Boeing self-certifying for work that was never done.

    Is this something new that’s been happening? Have people really lost their minds in recent years, because of COVID or microplastics or political/media mental effects or something? Or are we just becoming more aware of it?
