Gimme a break. Over half the employees at those newly contracted FSS are former FAA people. Same with contract towers. Retired FAA. Ex Military. Etc, etc. Contract facilities do the same job for less money. Quit trying to scare people with that NATCA nonsense.
It happens all the time with ADIZ clearances for some reason. Could have also timed out. They only stay in the system for two hours past your P-time unless they go active. DUAT is a really good way to go and it's much more immediate. When you call it in, someone then has to type it in and they could have simply set it on the counter and got wrapped up in something else. It happens, unfortunately.
