What would you have done?
a) I'm in favour of drills. b) I'm in favour of a policy of "no exceptions, do as if real" on drills. c) I'm in favour of (almost) no exceptions on policy. I would have left. But, yeah, it would have been an interesting experiment in social engineering to see if you could trip the machine. (I've had my lectures and seminars interrupted by fire drills and alarms numerous times. It makes for interesting examples in physical security. Such as the building where the fire alarm was almost inaudible in the training room, but literally headache-inducing in the exit stairwell. Or the buidling where we evacuated to a most unsafe area [fourth floor parking lot within the building], and then had to go back through a ridiculous security process, exacerbated by the fact that everything, including laptops that had been checked in in the morning, had been left in the training room. Took more than an hour to restart that course.) ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org If a professor tells you that computer science is x but not y, have compassion for his students. - Alan J.
