Yes, I agree. They do not go around testing doorknobs unsolicited and without permission. Which has absolutely nothing at all to do with this story, since he has both permission and was instructed to do so by his interviewers.

He was not asked to crack the NSA's database on metadata for phone calls. They are command line examples.

I downvoted you for unnecessarily swiping at the candidate saying: "This was a test of morals, and you flunked." You state this absolutely when in reality it is almost certainly a subjective minority opinion you hold.
