Of course it's possible, and happens often when people do that.

Lord knows we hear every day about how we can't let our guard down, we can't take any chances and we have to be vigilant, blah blah blah.
When it comes to the dude in charge of Homeland Security information, that at least a degree in computer sciences or something somewhat relevant might be a good idea.
