What a nightmare!!! Clearance does not mean unusable garbage. I wouldn't take this on the chin. You should call them up and make every demand possible. Good chance they brush you off, but then again, maybe not.

You should certainly try, if for nothing else, to keep yourself from fashioning a 1M cable into a noose and checking out.
