> In the article it said they were aware of a forced entry made at another court house, but I'm assuming it was after the fact and the security company told them they did it before? If it was before the test then that changes the story but I dont know why they'd admit it to the press otherwise.
It isn't clear at all. Perhaps Coalfire informed the Iowa State Court Administration of the Polk county break in when this came to light to avoid further misunderstandings? Who knows what "similar in nature" actually means in this context.
