Home Security
"We're a front line facility." They tell you that during the initial interview –
the one where they don't tell you anything. They repeat it after you sign the
non-disclosure forms. It's mentioned after you've passed a highly invasive
security check. They remind you when you enter a briefing room – after you've
been escorted down two separate elevators, through four security checkpoints, passed
A Whole Bunch of uniformed (and armed) soldier-types. You wait with your
intake group – suits and dress uniforms together.
Then, they raise what you hadn't realized was a blast shield, and suddenly, you
understand what "front line" means.
