Hope you have (best case) a good lawyer or (worst case) good health insurance as well if you attempt physical intrusion. Their physical asset security team is hardboiled [0][1]. I've dealt with them as well - they don't like being in this kind of position either.

  I smell a felony case with a non-trivial chance of lead poisoning or a visit to a trauma center.

I think you've misunderstood. I believe the comment you're responding to was talking about opening a secure bin that was presumably still on site. They weren't talking about breaking into the Iron Mountain facility

  Angle grinders are amazing tools, but with such amazing tools comes amazing responsibility... Yes, that's an allegory...

  Well... Again this is far out of NDA time, the documents were not on site anymore. That said, I would be willing to bet that doing such an act, even as a client, would be problematic on other levels. Let's remember; part of this whole contract with a company like this, is they are guaranteeing that your organization is following document retention processes. The sort of stuff that makes it really easy to pass things like a SOX audit. Cause, I've worked at other places. The kinds of places where you come in on a Saturday, there's a whole bunch of document bins out in the middle of the office that weren't there on a Saturday, everything is gone by Monday, and a bunch of people one to two slots under the C level resign within a week, and within the next 6-12 months all of the office gossip is either the bankruptcy proceedings impacting operations or the civil RICO lawsuit from the departed founder.

If Iron Mountain is shooting people for picking locks, they’re the ones who had better have good lawyers.

  Right, but if they show up and try to stop you, your options for escalation are limited and you'll have to comply (stop).
