Re: your mail

There is no perfect location.  Any common location has a certain 
level of insecurity.  Im sure u could sneak in a squeeze bottle and 
spray equipment also.  The point is, it is a relatively secure 
location, short of building your own facility or blding and manning 
it.

Even many military installations are open to social engineering. 
Paul is absolutely right, as a good engineer and customer, put your 
suggestions in the suggestion box.  Or access one of their people on 
the list.  I think Bill Norton is easy to reach by email and so is 
their CTO.
