Inside Intel's Security

from the didn't-realize-this-was-such-a-big-deal dept

Salon has an article about Intel's security measures where they imply that any "outsider" is treated as though they might be a spy. Well, it's good to see nothing has changed. Having worked there a while back, I can say it's not just outsiders, but absolutely everyone who is seen as a potential spy. You cannot leave their buildings with out having your possessions searched, even if you're an employee. It never struck me as all that odd when I was there, but apparently it's worth writing an article about. If I'd known I would have pitched the idea to Salon myself.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
