We run two parallel networks, each with several nested sub-networks -- a total of 12 servers with around 450 attached workstations. Granted, we're a "small" operation in comparison with Customs -- but everything we've done is scalable. There's no reason to assume it would be unreasonably difficult to implement the same systems and safeguards on a larger scale.
Correct. You are a small operation, you are in a different business, and you have different fundamental operating requirements.
Your last sentence is where you actually veer off the road and into the bushes.
You don't even know what it was that actually popped the network, but none of the above stops you from speculating.
Not particularly credible.
