I don't know how it happens but it doesn't matter whether it's actually secure or not if the method differs from what the rules say... rules on both performance and safety. Few years ago, the out-of-date fire extinguisher might have actually worked on the disqualified Larbre Corvette too, but it was still against the regulations.
Regulations should the ultimate law, as in the real court, and not some hollow guideline brochure you can break or modify any time you want like the GTE waiver "rulebook" or NASCAR/Indycar whatever-goes-policing, so I'm glad they're enforcing it with strictest sense.
