Lax DoD Security Putting the "Joint" back in "Joint Strike Fighter"

The Joint Strike Fighter is so high right now.

It seems that DoD staff responsible for auditing paperwork from contractors working on the Joint Strike Fighter may have been doing a little too much "lighting the fires" instead of "kicking the tires". Missing paperwork, most notably from recently mentioned BAE Systems, could present a security risk within this multi-national multi-agency project.

Even though this means that the plans for this low-cost stealthy next generation fighter jet could possibly fall into the hands of practically anyone, the more troubling implication is that BAE Systems, makers of Arachnobot 9000 jr., can do whatever they want and get away with it.
