The problem is, this was a 3-guy nightshift in a classified storage area, where all they were supposed to due was monitor HVAC and answer phones.
There was no requirement that they stay within sight of each other, or or basic security precautions, and security concerns bypassed/overlook at multiple levels in the squadron/higher up.
That this dude ever got to the position he was in, with access to that level of stuff when he was there for HVAC monitoring...we got really lucky this dude was just out to show off to discord for e-cred, and not trying to sell shit to our enemies.
