:] In short, if someone realy wants to get into something, there is no way to
:]stop them, without rendering it totally inaccessable. An anyone can do is
:]to discourage the less serious thieves and the joy riders.

Smoke:
During some training regarding computer security, it was pointed out that static
security is NOT designed to deny access to people. It is desgined to:
a) Deter people who do not have the skills or knowledge
b) Increase the chance of detecting an unauthorized access
c) Try to identify those involved in an unauthorized access
d) Increase the time taken to achieve unauthorized access

b and d are designed to give the non standard/static assets time to deal with
the situation. In physical security, this translates to meaning that your
standard security is basically alarms and lock with the odd guard, with cameras
etc. These are simply to alert main security to a breach.

Be careful about placing really heavy static security, and in ultra secure
areas, put biomonitors on some of the guards. They only need to trigger an
alarm if the guard's vital signs alter significantly (or with most parties -
stop completely).

In this case you then need a good, fast reaction team. Don't forget, however,
that a lot of the building has been designed with these guys in mind, and well
trained guards will have been breifed on tactics specific to this building.

Just some quick thoughts.
