I'd agree that she did nothing wrong. But I'm not sure the security people did either. We can't hire people with PhDs to deal with every security situation and if even if we could, the nature of their business is they don't have time to analyze every situation the way we do on the web after the fact.
I'm not sure what a solution is, or if there is a solution. There are some times when the government (or even the public) is asking for things that can be mutually exclusive - lots of security and also lots of liberty or low taxes and high government services or altruistic, intelligent people to serve in government who are also willing to put themselves through the absurd process of campaigning that we have today.
