Reply to comment by ironroad18 in National Archives releases thousands of documents on Kennedy assassination by John-Farson
It's not so much incompetence as it is just thinking you'll never need those things. It's like the massacre at the 1974 Olympics: Germany didn't have a special forces police unit, and the German army isn't allowed to operate on German soil, so they couldn't do anything to prevent it. They just didn't think they'd ever need something like that.
Naivety is perhaps a better word.

It's hard to care about this too much. They had 20 years to start caring about their country and they didn't.

Reply to TIL In the 1980s, an obscene image was snuck into one of the ice cubes in a Coca-Cola ad in South Australia. The company recalled and destroyed all of the posters, and the artist responsible for the image was fired and sued. by 54_actual
Oh, South Australia. Of course it's the South Australians.
