I guess the thought process is: basically assume the bad guys will go through the front door and cooperate with the mantrap. Then again (bringing this back to EQIX) -- they didn't spend money on expensive signage, because no one would guess where the door is -- right? So that's more of a savings than some other companies have/had/whatever. DJ I'm curious -- did they kick you out for the day, or terminate your contract and move you out?
