In the "good" server sites, they'll never let you anywhere near the
computer, for security reasons.  I was at one recently, where I was
weighed coming and going and had my fingerprints scanned.  In there, to
go into the server room, you have to swipe your card.  That lets you
into a small room, where you get weighed and scanned again and if
everything checks, another door opens, so you can proceed.  You can't
even get out, without going through that process.

BTW, that one was in Brampton.
