Any child could tell you that if there's a significant risk of permission being denied, permission should not be sought. The creators of this film made the correct decision; the film's complete and readily available.
I was wondering why you didn't link to https://www.irs.gov/ as nearly every.gov site I've visited has working SSL, particularly given the topic of discussion. Hell, CIA's site defaults to SSL; the way it ought to be, IMO. As to why... well, Firefox 3.5.3 pukes this up:
www.irs.gov uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for <a id="cert_domain_link" title="a248.e.akamai.net">a248.e.akamai.net</a> (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)
I'm not disputing the seriousness or your explicit policy examples, but a bad cert is a publicly-visible oversight.

LMAO... Is this real?
As far as I'm concerned, people have the right to do what they want in their cars. If they fuck up, then there are consequences.
They should tear the responsible people limb from limb, literally.
No, they should not. That's barbaric, and takes away from the civilization of humankind.
However, I think executives would have a difficult time valuating prison time when calculating the profitability of premeditated crime.
Paleface plant too many trees... Fuck up natural vista.
If "fairness" is the real reason, or if the policy is "no headphones," then just bring in a boom box so everyone can enjoy the music.
It seems like Slashdotters have some kind of aversion to SSL. Below are some example URLs to help cure this sickness:
