QUESTION 21: A Two Parter

Did the Holmes boys test John's loyalty towards each other at the end of A Scandal in Belgravia?





Mycroft claims on the death of Irene:   

MYCROFT: I was thorough – this time. It would take Sherlock Holmes to fool me, and I don’t think he was on hand, do you?

If Sherlock was don't you think Mycroft would know because of all the ways you get into a war zone you'd need to have a flight plan somehow recorded somewhere and homeland security watching that area.  I know Sherlock is a master of disguise, but someone had to see him without the garb or a mode of transport coming into play.  Who does Sherlock have to pull strings to help him inside without being captured?

Also didn't John, Mycroft, Ms. Hudson or anyone notice that Sherlock had disappeared for days to help Irene?  They were on him almost instantly after learning the junkie is missing.  Wouldn't the siren go out again on seeking him out?

Further thought on how the Holmes might have been working John:

Sherlock takes a moment after John was about to tell him the story he was going to explain the where about Irene was now.

Also I think the brothers might be working together because why did the IT nerds not do their job.  John says when Sherlock asks for Irene's phone:  

JOHN: There’s nothing on it any more. It’s been stripped.

However, all the text messages from Irene were still there.  Did Mycroft leave them knowing Sherlock needed the Irene connection or the British Government IT guys forgot to erase ALL items?
