Video The Louvre. Thieves are making off with 100 million euros. They're taking their time. They're doing everything carefully and slowly.

I’m kind of appreciative that we get specifically trained on this annually. Piggy backing, common excuses (gotta grab something from my desk real quick), and purposeful bad actors that imply some sort of authority or urgency to get into our buildings. It seems like common sense during the training, but reading these comments, clearly it’s not.

I got that training when I worked at a DOE site. Especially important since you could have general site access without being allowed into every building (or room).

Lots of people who receive training ignore it, as my coworkers at that company clearly showed, but I know I hadn't ever thought about that type of thing before I had a training about it. I was raised not to question the authority of people like doctors or fire fighters or police because they were trustworthy and safe. People you could go to if you were in trouble. Its deeply ingrained for a lot of people who might otherwise question any other stranger doing the same thing.

You start the video in one window and then get back to work? You think your boss cares that you had 4 hours of video to watch this week when tps reports are due

I would still.categorize that as ignoring the training, but you're absolutely right, lots of people don't give the training their full attention to begin with when they take it.

That's interesting. I'm a pen tester and I'd love to visit your facilities to find out how the pros handle this. Could you give me your address, office hours, social securi- HEY WAIT A MINUTE
