I would think there’s only one possible explanation. Who would know where the defective door is? Bin Laden? Or an employee? And running off with the radio - are terrorists that unprofessional?

Shut these fuckers down. The USA needs no help in self-destructing on its current course towards oligarchical farcicacy.

P.S. Yes, I know “farcicacy” isn’t a word, but it’s a pro po, no?

My wife’s Houston based company had a guy in a baseball cap sneak onto their site and pass their physical-only IP onto their competitors a couple years ago. Apparently it’s a tool of the trade.

Button-down shirt and khakis, the second time with a tie. At least he passes minimum dress code for casual Friday.

Reminds me of a guy I knew in highschool (the person in the video is not him). He was into urban exploration and not just the abandoned buildings, when he would go into places he would take something on his way out.

They should be looking for someone with a connection to the facility but does not work there currently and owns a cat.

You haven’t really arrived until they make a whole new word for you, like “devops.”
