why does a maint. workers need security clearances, unless...

[TheMrBlinx]

I think they are mainly concerned with the fact that the tunnels give access to the buildings they are under, just as they did the UT tower. Anyone who wanted to get into those buildings bad enough probably could.

OTOH, poison gas in those tunnels could conceivably penetrate into all those buildings; a good terrorist target.

As for curious people (like *me* :-), they probably just want to turn a bunch of valves, run away and see what happens.

if they are just service tunnels just say that. don't say anyone caught in there will no longer be a student and will be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Sayin you tried to keep it a secret from students? What you got down there? Acid Waste lines? If they are from the chem labs then say that don't refuse to comment. Most scientific research is done at universities so they probably have a military contract for some biological weapon that can only be destroyed in acid and the lab

is probably somewhere in that tunnel system. Some people are curious about restricted areas and a few people will always try to see what going on in there but when you try to keep a restricted area secret it peaks everyone's curiosity and even more people will try to get in. They say the tunnels are there for servicing system but how many of those systems actually existed when the tunnels were built? I think using the tunnels to route those systems was an after thought

@OhMySavy

Than every BODY would throw their hands in the air and yell UUUUUUHHHHHHH TOXIC WAST, There trying to kill us all.

It's funny but you see an old chair, and other stuff as their walking around.

That's were the Engineers sit to have lunch LOL

[OhMySavy]

@DarkMonkArt Yeah, that makes sense. The specificity of "Acid" threw me off. Seems like it should just be "Toxic Waste".
