> Will you only speak of sensitive subjects in rooms with no windows? That is exactly why almost all DOD secure areas are windowless.

  Don’t disagree. Scale that to an entire populace though.

    In the brave new world that's being built, the entire population (most of it) doesn't get to have true confidentiality if somebody is sufficiently interested in them.

    Well, windowless bathrooms are not uncommon. And most modern construction has walk-in closets, which typically lack windows. Even so, a source of white noise is always prudent.

      And leads to mold and bad air unless you are careful which people aren't
      • mirimir 8y ago
        True, but only if you don't ventilate properly. And exhaust fans are also a useful source of white noise. Along with running water.

  > That is exactly why almost all DOD secure areas are windowless. I'm pretty sure that a bigger factor in why secure facilities have limitations on windows (and especially on ground floor windows) is physical security.

    Not really. Non-operator windows do not degrade physical security that much, or really at all if they are not accessible from the ground. It is primarily danger of surveillance that drives the lack of windows.
