    Do you think any response has to be overt - there is more than one way to apply pressure as FDR said sneaking softly sometimes means you don't have to use the big stick.

    Trouble is the building of several thousand cheap drones and the launch facilitates to launch them in enough numbers is going to be so obvious that your facility gets carpet bombed (like the v1 and v2 plants). Finding the target is another problem Carrier groups are moving targets in the middle of the ocean how do you find the position.

    would apply to every Uni in the work as many people have said the politics and back biting at universities is intense as Sayre's law law states "Academic politics is the most vicious and bitter form of politics, because the stakes are so low.".

    And I suspect that Mr Al-Khabaz,being a Colored gentleman (to quote Rowen Atkinson on not the nine o clock news) might have something to do with the severity of the punishment.

    I am of course referring to the famous Constable Savage sketch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5dy9URkLFI

    From experience at a top 5 consulting engineering firm if something went wrong it was normally the contractor who cocked up - one of my more interesting jobs there was reverse engineering a soil density program to prove that a sub contractor was at fault when a bridge fell of its supports :-)
