Indeed it does, and we've discussed this very point before on the list.
I'm afraid it's very hard to come up with a plausible scenario that
would explain it.

Straker's conversation with Foster's boss in EXPOSED is a similar case
in point. It would be better to have someone from the Home Office or
the security services deal with these matters, rather than being dealt
with directly by SHADO, who after all, aren't supposed to exist as far
as Dalotek and the company Foster works for before joining SHADO are
concerned.
