You would have us believe that the guy is clued enough to run a "closed
lab" without screwing up (and there's *lots* of ways to screw up, starting
with forgetting to wipe the drives afterwards, forgetting to disable a
wireless card, forgetting to not plug any of the boxes into the normal net,
forgetting to...).

And yet he's not clued enough to know how to find a copy of Sasser by himself.

There are a lot of people who are of the opinion that "if you have to ask
where to find a copy of Sasser, you're not clued enough to be trusted with
a copy".
