Stuff will get out - it has, when Foot and Mouth escaped into the English countryside due to a bio-containment failure. But that was big news precisely because of its rarity.
Influenza is already known to be a virus that readily mutates and recombines with other strains. We don't need a containment failure hypothesis to account for swine flu, or any other variety of flu. Mutation is by far the most likely explanation.
