Inside a deommissioned missile silo

Saw this on slashdot this morning.

The author got a tour inside a ICBM silo that's been converted to a museum.

One of the points of interest for the author (a computer security expert) was the approach they took towards security. Except for the sleeping quarters, kitchen and the loo, it was against regulations for one person to be any other area by themselves.

It's interesting to see the security from the 1960s in light of what we're able to do with computers.
 
I've toured the Titan Missile Museum a couple of times. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the Tucson area. Of interest to Trek fans is that the silo scenes in Star Trek First Contact were shot there!
