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.
