kinda like breaking into a room via a locked door, through a window in
said locked door. The door design does not impliment a proper design 
infrastructure for the intended application.

Jail the mfg of the Door?? i think not.

The door is not of suitible design for the intended security application, sure,
but someone did circumvent the security device ( the lock ) via an exploitable
flaw ( the window). Still a clear case of breaking and entering, not to memtion
circumvention of an access device ( the lock in the door ).

my 2bits.
