This is a PR joke.  Security?

Was a background check done on Mr. Meeks before he was permitted
entry?  How was he identified?  Were other people permitted entry
cleared with any background checks?

Two points in the story seemed relevant:

 1. It appeared that the inside door of the man-trap could be
    opened before the outside door was secure.  If this is
    possible, then the security is a joke.

 2. I love Meeks' taking pains to mention his employer...

But Dave, your points were well made.
