Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy

They were "experienced frontline officers and their knowledge and expertise will be sorely missed" and not easily regenerated. Terrible, just terrible. RiP. But, but. Don't they teach newbies at The Farm anymore that one needs to frisk "informants" coming in? Sounds like a rookie mistake to me--just about at the same level as letting Abdul board the plane with a bomb in his undies, after being forewarned by his father. No?
