Hi Rich

I shouldn't probably say this publicly, but it was so many years ago
it probably wouldn't matter today anyhow.

A was working for company that worked under government contracts, we
all had ID badges of course.
Because of my and other co-workers clearance level, we had badges that
without close examination looked like the upper echelon of a
department we had to walk through a few times.
This caused all the workers in that department to begin working hog
wild until we had passed through.
But that's not the funniest part. Each of us in the team I was in had
black dot security clearance as well, which just appears to the eye as
a black dot on our badges.
A few of the upper echelon of the other department wanted to follow us
so they conveniently placed a simple black dot on their badges and
tailed in a secure area with us as part of the group.
No sooner than the doors behind us shut, the security doors in the
hallway slammed shut as well and we were all trapped like rats in a
maze until security came and hauled those not of our group away.
Every single one of them got the axe, even though they were part of
the upper echelon.
We too got into trouble as being the group that held the door open for
them to come in, which was a bummer. But our trouble was just a 2
hour long lecture (on the clock).
This was way back in the 60's and security monitoring equipment was
quite advanced back then. I hate to think of what it is today!
