twinstar_ca Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 interesting point, TQN... so let's hijack away... i wonder if bell or EC even lets anyone bring a camera to the assembly line unless they're frisked, security checked, the whole 9 yards... i'd almost bet that pic taking is only in limited or restricted areas...

transquebecniece Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 You think? It's not like a picture is stealing anything; I would think the blueprints, schematics or project sketches would be classified, however. Skidoo was probably too embarrassed to show his li'l boy excitement by taking pix in front of the students. Ahahaha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinson only allowed pictures in limited areas... no assembly areas IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinstar_ca Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 jeez, girl!! where do you find this stuff?!?!!? :up: if it's armed guards, i'm thinking its gotta be bell ft worth or amarillo where the military stuff is... here in canada, security would not have firearms... they might have canes if it's the retired guys but no firearms!!! so uncle frank is as wary of corporate espionage too, is he... mind you, aren't they testing UAV robbies somewhere??

transquebecniece Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 I have my wily, wascally (think Elmer Fudd ) ways. Yes, that's Bell Textron/Ft. Worth...but am guessing security measures are similar for the Mirabel facility— minus the firearms, perhaps? As for Skidz, even though he couldn't shoot pix, I bet he was still excited like a li'l kid and tried hard not to show it in front of the students. Ha! :prop: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TQN's probably not familiar with the "delights" of dealing with Canada's Commissionaires Commissionaires Canada - a "uniquely" Canadian phenomena of security guards/parking lot cops that are mostly cantankerous old crusty retired cops and military with a chip on their shoulder that should have STAYED retired!

Skids Up Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 "As Good As I Once Was." Hey! We got a driver that adopted that for his theme song!! OK, we forced it on him, but it was still good!

Skidz Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 No pics allowed inside the Mirabel plant. We weren't frisked, but we did have "minders"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
