Maybe if you hold engineers to that standard, them saying "I in no way certify this as secure because x,y and z" would make the purse strings loosen up a bit.

I'm not sure this works. Social engineering is still a big problem with security so even if you took a system entirely off network, you could still be insecure because of people infiltrating your company, or being bribed, or what have you. Then if your computer is on a network you have all manner of penetration attempts that you can attempt to secure against, but against a state actor or really deep pockets it's about mitigation and restoration rather than keeping people out 100 percent.

If you're a civil engineer at least youre not held liable if a dude decides to bomb your building and your building falls over.

The hot take from AM radio today was, "Well if Trump JR did it that means his father is clean! He was only doing what a good son, a good advocate, would do. Further if the Russians had damning evidence about Hillary and wanted to give it to Trump JR. That only proves that the Russians weren't trying to help Trump, just trying to hurt Hillary!*ignores how yesterday he went on a rant on how the Russians would absolutely have loved Hillary in charge*"

There should be a law banning news radio in the work place.

Edit: I don't really see how anyone can make the logic of "hur dur they're not helping trump, they're trying to hurt hillary!" Instead of seeing one implies did the other.

Only reason to not want McCain to die right now is so he clogs up the seat while not voting (or to extend the suffering, depending on level of hatred). Him actually kicking it and being replaced would be back to the legislative status quo but without the flimsy "maverick" bullshit.
