Which is where this comes and goes over years. We have good years with various people helping to keep track of security related tasks and helping with packages. And then they all burn out from being told not to touch packages without permission or similar things and we have bad years. Then someone comes and says "It is a serious oversight" and get put in the position of fixing it.. and we do the dance again
And I hit send too soon.
I am not saying this is a good method and we should probably find a new way that can be staffed and enforced. However we have a lot of other things we should be doing and only so many people with time who can do them. So what is the priority of this over all of the other items that needed to be dealt with... which is a question for consensus over peanut gallery points from me.
