They think it's social engineering when it is in fact social wrecking.

As a second step, I suggest they fire everyone with “shifty eyes” — you can’t trust people who won’t look at you.

Hillary forbade anyone in the White House from making eye-contact with her. Maybe this is similar.

I suppose it would depend on whether it took you longer than 5 seconds...
