Well, at least they aren't broadcasting anything. The blinking lights, now that she looks more closely, look like one of the few early-stage infohazard attempts judged to be so safe that documentary-makers could legally show full-quality videos of them.
She's still not sure what's going on, but "amateur would-be sabotage attempt of some kind" seems like a good explanation. She can call in a cleanup crew, go through some quick (if still frustrating) automated screening, and then get back to work.
