Ah, the 'Aliens' threat model.
- adrianratnapala 8y agoWell if feel the need to have a physically secure room, then presumably you want to actually be secure.
- bigiain 8y agoWhat, are you trying to say security theatre doesn't make everything safe??? Surely if we grope everybody's balls/boobs on their way in, and have a secret list of "people with names that are vaguely similar to middle eastern sounding names" that we won't let in, that'd make up for the walls that you can just crawl under of climb over? Right?
- vinay_ys 8y agoSecure room means there's no way for anyone (big or small) to sneak into the room undetected. Hence, having false ceiling/floor and ducts need to be secured - usually the fire/aircon zones are also separated and isolated. I have seen colo providers do this when they are hosting banks/financial institutions.

- rukuu001 8y agoNever mind if a person (or Aliens) can get in...can someone feed a firehose into the room from next door and turn it on?
