brainofckSo, I finally asked my person I know who actually has the big security clearance about "the box" he sometimes works in. This is a place that you cannot enter without a certain level of security clearance. Well, actually, as I learned yesterday, you *can* enter for certain specific reasons, but everybody has to close their doors along the route you will be taking, and you have an escort the entire time and a red light blinks in all the corridors you have to take so that people will know that there is a person without clearance in the area.
According to my source, cellphones are confiscated before you enter, and if you are stupid enough to take your personal laptop into the facility, it doesn't come out! He knew a guy that happened to. *laughs and points*
I forgot to ask this guy, but I know other people who work in secure facilities. They are not allowed to send faxes from work and it seems to me that I have had issues communicating with these people via e-mail. Like they can't send/receive attachments or something like that.
Anyway, all this to say, considering the level of secrecy around the SGC, I wonder if it is a "box?" Everybody writes about particularly Daniel bringing work home, but I'm thinking it seems highly unlikely that anything gets out of the Mountain.
Just my thoughts.

Date: 2007-06-08 08:37 pm (UTC)i had a distant relative who took some classified papers, as directed by his boss, out of his workplace in a locked briefcase and he was taking them to another place on a plane, and his orders were that he had to be awake and have the briefcase within arm's reach the whole time it was in his possession.
that's all i know firsthand about security stuff, but it's all very fascinating...
i was watching Paradise Lost the other night, and Maybourne and Jack are talking about totally secret stuff out on Jack's deck in Colorado Springs... so apparently they aren't worried about surveillance at that point. WTF?
how likely is the outdoor surveillance at Jack's house anyway?
