If a contractor working for me committed such a flagrant breach of security,
I'd have him walked out of the building immediately. Then I'd jump on the
phone to the contract firm to see whether the contractor's employment
agreement specified such an action on the part of the contractor as
immediate cause for dismissal by the contract company. If not, I'd get my
company's legal department involved immediately, and I'd recommend severing
relationships with the contract firm.
