re: #146 electrotek

What I want to know is how the YouTube building doesn’t have strict security given its stature?

You would be amazed at how little security some of these campuses have. My current tech company is extremely locked down but I have worked places that were wide open.

I was working for Halliburton when Gulf War 2 began. They had massive government contracts at the time. Almost no security….one guard at the front door. Anyone could have pulled up to Halliburton corporate headquarters with a bomb or a gun and there was nothing to stop them. Someone got a clue and in 2 weeks we had barriers, bulletproof glass and new doors with multiple guards in place, a gatehouse with gates to get into the parking lot…militarized. Seems crazy my current employer has that and we’re just writing code. Freaking HALLIBURTON was wide open during a war.
