They can't afford you for free. It would cost them so much more to vet you than using one of their usual "pre-approved" government contractors, it wouldn't even be worth their considering. Even if that could be done, no one would be willing to take responsibility for giving you access. The system is designed (or has evolved) specifically to diffuse this sort of responsibility. It would be impossible to focus it sharply enough to allow you to do this.

The code is broken, but not the broken part of this system.
