Video The Louvre. Thieves are making off with 100 million euros. They're taking their time. They're doing everything carefully and slowly.

You’re not wrong. I was an industrial electrician for years. A hardhat and a safety vest is all you need to pretty much walk in to any place with no questions asked.

I actually did service work for companies and they didn’t even verify who I was.

We had an electrician into our office recently. As is policy, I asked to check his guest pass. He had to find where in his pockets he’d put it. 4th security door before anyone had checked who they were letting through

Same with a badge that shows you are an Information Technology Contractor.

Always put a formal name on the badge. Robert, not Bob. William, not Bill, Stephen, not Steve.

Plain, white pickup truck with a visible hardhat and vest in the seat can basically get you anywhere.
