ah well... stories like that are true indeed. I personally carried a
Sun IPX from one security area to one another. The "funny" part
starts when you know that it wasn't in the papers of area #1 (noone
would have ever cared if I carried it away) but it went into the
papers of area #2. The bad thing is that area #2 was of higher
security and the IPX by now has been probably also melted/shredded -
although it most likely was never used for anything else except a
software demo. It just happened to be in the wrong place.
Although it was "just" an IPX I still feel bad for this whole thing.
Perhaps that's why I keep telling it again, and again and again
and...
Thanks for listening to an old script,
Gerhard
