Apple’s Obsession With Secrecy Grows Stronger
-
Clickety[^] Employees working on top-secret projects must pass through a maze of security doors, swiping their badges again and again and finally entering a numeric code to reach their offices, according to one former employee who worked in such areas. I wonder whether it helps/hinders employee productivity.

Based on how few people would bother you if they had to go through that much security I would say HELPS.

I work in defense, they're more in your face and sloppy than anything I've dealt with on the job. We've got badges with pin numbers for access control, but only people with access to X can get into where X is being done, so having to throw blankets over your desk is a non issue. At the end of the day it just gets put in a safe and you spin the lock. From the sound of it someone in apple needs to read the NISPOM and redo their procedures to be more secure and less obnoxious at the same time. On the other hand the hippies in Apple would probably suffer from exploded heads from reading a doc with DoD logos. On the gripping head ignore my previous objection. :laugh:

It doesn't increase security that much. An employee with bad intentions can always leak, unless you erase his/her mind. Security isn't always about making things more secure. Upper management, ease of mind, they need good sleep :rolleyes:
I are troll :)

The 99% of the people not working on it can't get in to snoop, which means if there is a leak its much easier to track down the perpetrator.

The source has said for the record that he does not remember any mind erasing being performed during his tenure. :laugh:

With so many doors, by the time they get to the last one coming in, it's time to turn around and go the other direction to leave...and by the time they get to the last door going out, its time to go to work again...little do they know that they are walking on foot powered walkways that are connected to turbine generators and they in fact are powering the rest of the Apple complex :laugh:

All this fuss to avoid a leak? They could put the restroom inside the secure areas. :-D

And we finally traced the leak! It was the carpenter that had to fix all these bloody doors.

Anyone who wants to find out more about the security on BIG projects should read Richard Feynman's accounts of working on the Manhattan Project - hilarious (and frightening) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surely_You%27re_Joking,_Mr._Feynman![^]
