This couldn't have anything to do with the number of Asian contractors working at Hill? I am sure almost all of them would not do this on purpose, but I doubt this was a mistake. I also doubt that Taiwan didn't look very hard at the items before giving them back.

It's an imperfect world. And when you mix in the human element it only gets worse.

Sending Taiwan four fuses doesn't give them Minuteman missile capability, any more than keeping the headphones from your last flight on Frontier Airlines gives you an Airbus.

It's funny that the People's Republic of China (those wonderful folks who brought you Tiananmen Square, the "Hot-Nose" incident and a bunch of dead Tibetans) would complain about four fuses, when they have hundreds of nuclear warheads aimed at Taiwan. That's like Al Capone complaining that the little old lady across the street is a "threat to peace" because she has four empty cartridge cases.

No matter what happened, the lowest ranking person, military or civilian, will be blamed.
