A judge sentenced an 84-year-old nun, Sister Megan Rice, on Tuesday to 35 months in prison for breaking into a facility where enriched uranium for nuclear bombs is stored. Two others who took part, Michael Walli and Greg Boertje-Obed, were sentenced to 62 months. The three were convicted of cutting fences and entering the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge in July 2012, embarrassing officials and prompting security changes. Judge Amul Thapar of Federal District Court said Sister Rice did not share the others criminal backgrounds. Her crimes are minimal in comparison to the others, the judge said. The three admitted to spray painting peace slogans and hammering on exterior walls of the facility. When a guard confronted them, they offered him food and began singing. The complex is the primary American site for processing and storage of enriched uranium -NYT

It's like about 10 years ago where my wife worked. They implemented a computer security system to protect client file confidentiality and I found a gaping hole in the system. They were not amused when I told them about it and they were even less amused when my response to that was "That I could crap a better security system than what they had.
