8. So why aren't the facility managers going to jail?

They failed to protect "weapons-grade nuclear materials" from a nun with some wire cutters. That means any terrorist with a pair of wire cutters could have gotten in and absconded with some of that material.

With that level of security lapse, someone damned well ought to be paying a price.

But she's the "stupid" one for making her point and not trying to hide it but drawing attention to herself and being arrested.

Seems to me they ought to take that 21 years and spread it evenly among her and every manager of that facility, up to the highest level, who signed off on their severely deficient security measures.

But whoever said life was fair, eh? At least she'll be off the streets, unable to terrorize the rest of us. Meanwhile the idiot elites continue on their merry way, protecting the rest of us from ... knowing how piss-poor they really are at protecting anything.
