    the specificity you’re demanding for “infiltrate” to apply is prescriptivist, and it’s revision because it does not reflect common usage in american or commonwealth.

    anyway, you’re still infiltrating a security device something even if the people who put up the walls or locks fortified border did so illegitimately.
