When I was just starting in my career (read young and stupid), I used to enjoy going for (what I referred to as) "walks" when meeting on client sites. A lot of interesting reports came out of my "walks". Nothing this cool though... and at 83!
Nun Faces up to 30 Years for Breaking Into Weapons Complex, Embarrassing the Feds | Mother Jones
I'm Catholic, and I believe pedophile priests and security breeching nuns deserve the full penalty of the law. Civil disobedience is one thing.
Breaching a nuclear weapons facility is terrorism. She's like a Catholic, female Al Quaida member or Taliban fanatic. They love martyrdom.
She deserves some credit by successfully breaching several perimeters undetected, and lucky enough to get caught before breaching the "Shoot to Kill On Sight" perimeter.
Before switching my career to Environmental Engineering, my former career was consulting as a defence contractor for the US Air Force, Electronics System Division.
My specialty was writing System-Level Specs for Access Control to Top Secret Security Clearance areas and integrate them with the Intrusion Detection Systems and Perimeter Security Systems to such facilities and others, similar in size and scope of NASA's Launch Pad 39b.
The Operational Requirements and System Specs had to pass DOD Specs about System Specs, but the Maintenance & Operations were clearly the responsibility of the Contractor of the Site, not the DOD.
(I was offered a job as an inspector for rebuilding the security system at the Kuwaiti Airport, to ensure contractor responsibility & compliance with the System Specs. I wrote who does what, and I knew whose ass to kick).
The System Specs clearly define in legal language, who is responsible for what, down to the details of who is responsible for applying anti-fungal coating on the keys of the keypad. All 900 pages had to be unambiguous about accountability. This minimizes the litigation of who blames whom.
My team, who essentially designed the system, had a rival team, whose job was to try to disable, breach or compromise our system.
This was during the Cold War, and I took my responsibility to protect military nuclear assets seriously. The threat today and possible terrorist access to nuclear material is more complex & nuclear terrorism is more likely than a global nuclear exchange even though the Cold War is over, and under President George Bush Sr., there are 10,000 less nuclear warheads on either side, with another 20,000 to be de-mil'd and reprocessed into nuclear fuel for energy reactors in a joint US & Russian program called "Megatons to MegaWatts", initiated by George Bush,Sr and Boris Yeltsin.
In this case, checking several sections of the A-Specs, I can make an educated guess as to who else goes to jail from Y-12, in addition to the nun & protesters.
