Yeah I was going to say that, I was in there a few times and I actually work for GE and they gave me a hard time. I don’t know how you got in there, security is serious. I have to fill out forms and talk to people to get clearance. That and I don’t think camera’s are allowed onsite for the majority of people.

my dads whole side practically worked at the sch site. up until mid 90’s when everyone got old. we had to fill out parperwork, and be escorted past two buildings. but it wasnt hard for the car interior check. lol, i have no interior.
