    I’d bet when you spend 2.2 billion dollars building something useless you’d be willing to shell out min wage for a few armed guards. Also there’s no way they’re not doing the facial recognition bullshit Madison Square Garden has been going for

      Sounds like nothing a clipboard, tool pack and some work clothes won’t fix. Minimum wage guards generally aren’t paid well enough to be too thorough

        “Hey, Mister Security Guard, I am from IT and just gonna upgrade that hardware over there. Do I have permission? Of course, I have permission! Here’s some paper with an unreadable signature. Look, here it says that I have to remove all those very expensive graphics cards and dispose of them. So don’t mind me!”

            if only there was more crossover of extremely confident people and especially tech literate folks with nothing to lose.

              Heh yeah those kinds of people often end up red teaming, which does kinda put a damper on doing “off the books” fuckery because you need to keep your reputation clean
