Visited a BIG datacenter; top grade security and visitor's passes and all the trimmings. Buddy giving me the tour shows me a couple of the things they show to VIPs, its early Sunday morning and they still caught me trying to take a couple pictures, very high grade and attentive folks.

Then we go back to his office, and load up the 1,000lb of computer gear he's donating and I'm transporting. We wheel 3 cartloads of stuff down the back elevator, through the secured DC floor we saw through glass earlier that i couldn't take a picture of, and out an open back door right near where i parked my truck. no further interaction with security, no badge waving, no questions asked.



Reminds me of Michael Keaton’s line in The Paper:

> A clipboard and a confident wave will get you into any building in the world!
