Sabotage is certainly a possibility, but the list of suspects would be pretty short. These facilities operate 24/7 and the chances of an outsider entering and accomplishing this task unnoticed are remote.

Really!! While I have never done it, I presume it is a non-trivial task to even get to the innards of the VS. Somebody would know if maintenance was up on that aircraft poking around inside the VS. I doubt sabotage is the reason the VS failed.

I'm not so sure about this statement. An American Airline pilot friend of mine says that security is extremely lax on the ground, in areas where the public is not allowed. He has always been nervous about baggage handlers, mechanics, etc. due to the fact that they seem to be able to go wherevere they please, unrestricted.
