Active shooter at Youtube headquarters

Do they have security security; or just your basic office-park ‘zillions of card strikes; plenty of cameras; and enough rentacops that anyone who doesn’t look like they belong will be ushered out pretty quickly’?

Perhaps Youtube is more hardcore, which is why this is in the form of a question; but my experiences with office park and tech campus security have mostly been of the ‘if you don’t look out of place and can follow someone through the door when they badge in that’s about it’. Card strikes everywhere, so you can’t just wander off by yourself; and there are ‘security’ people whose job it is to (more or less politely) hassle you, so you can’t rely on everyone assuming that it’s someone else’s job; but people get lax about holding the door for one another; and patdowns and metal detectors would not suit the atmosphere: would not want to infliltrate as a homeless guy; would (and have) passed beneath notice as a generic polo-shirted nerd guy.
