As for those videos, it's a little hard to tell what's going on, but it appears there was an informal test fire on the way in, then an oil/solvent bath, then stacked either for later attention or shipping out to somewhere else.

“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”
Edward Bernays, 1928
