Imagine being the guy who has to fix those computers when they break and finding only solutions like "just plug in this USB stick and boot from it to run this fix utility..." or the everpresent assumption that the machine is connected to the Internet 24/7.

You don't fix them.

You bring in an entirely new machine, and the old one is securely destroyed.

Oh yeah, like getting a new machine through purchasing and certified for the SCIF is a walk in the park...

You have a stock of prepared, vetted replacement machines.

You can replenish it slowly after you have just handed over a replacement.
