The most amazing things can be found on certain northern cross-country fiber routes in areas where cellphones don't work - they thought about everything putting hundred thousand dollar doors and locks to prevent those who are not supposed to get into the huts from getting there... Excellence to the nines. Of course, since no one wants to carry keys to those super secure entrances, the same time of cobination keyholders that S&D and some others use to attach cabinet keys to the back of the cabinets themselves had been placed right by those super secure doors. Needless to say, it did not take long for every combination locked to be popped, keys taken out and super-secure doors opened. Alex
