Whereas, I might suppose that James West and Artemus Gordon wouldn't have approved...

And whereas it is true that the two SS Agents on The Wild Wild West had had their share of women, or at least the implied share of women, interestingly, they never "did it" whilst on the case, only after, IIRC.

And whereas, getting laid, whilst important, is somewhat less important than the safety of the President of the United States,

Be it resolved that this won't happen again.

1. It's not about the fictional sex of James Bond, it's about the sex of the biblical Judith

Using sex as a tool is one of the oldest ploys available in literature.

In a country like the United States, it is still possible to compromise someone with evidence of sex.

And when I say compromise, I mean it in the sense of blackmail.

It's not just about a 'possible' security breach in slipping up and leaving a copy of the Presidential itineray out where a foreign agent/prostitute/Mata Hari can see it.

It's about the real security breach of a team whose members engaged in risky behavior that could make one or more of its members vulnerable to coercion and thus undermine the capacity to fully function in a security role.

I don't think this team will have this problem again, as I think this particular team will be dissolved out of existence.

2. I have a feeling there will be many more heads rolling

This goes higher. I'll never believe it doesn't

3. Maybe it goes higher, maybe not, but I agree some supervisory folks will be sacked

partly because they will be seen as having allowed a problem with adherence to mission discipline to develop. An important second reason for sacking them will be to motivate the next supervisor to keep the team's big heads in control of their little heads at all times.

I have no doubt this particular team will be broken into pieces.
