The phrase "Asleep at the Switch" applies in spades:

PS. Definition is:

To be failing to attend to one's responsibilities or duties; to be inattentive to that which is important or for which one is responsible. Lots of folks were asleep at the switch it seems, but bottom line is the final failsafe for that happening belongs to the Secret Service and by default to the Director.
