About an hour before Iranian state TV first reported loud explosions in Tehran, pizza orders around the Pentagon went through the roof
there are “a multitude of fast food restaurants in the Pentagon complex, but no pizza places”
the account noted three hours later that a gay bar near the Pentagon had “abnormally low traffic for a Thursday night” and said this probably pointed to “a busy night at the Pentagon”.
Just some truly incredible analysis.
Pizza and gay bar traffic tipping the hand of global events is the cyberpunk dystopia I was hoping for.
I never thought about it before, but why/how do some of the most secure places on the planet with some of the most important people in the States get delivery from a local Domino’s? It seems like a MASSIVE risk to the people or buildings.
Very few local restaurants can produce a lot of “food” on short notice. Even fewer that you’ll have a corporate/expense account already open with that makes billing nice and easy for your admin/accounts payable team.
Not in my experience, clearances are really expensive (last I saw it was in the $5-6k range per initial clearance package, and about 2/3s that each reinvestigation). Most secure workplaces will have a lobby for receiving things like this where they will call either a central mailroom to deliver it or whomever ordered it to come grab it (especially if it still needs paid for).
You’d be surprised, I had a $13 an hour job for the government previously that required security clearance up to and including an investigator asking me questions about what I put on my application and 32 page long security form.
Yeah, I am very familiar with the clearance process. Not saying lower wage jobs don’t exist with clearances (I mean buildings need custodians and janitors, cafeteria workers, repro office workers, etc), just that I can’t imagine Dominos requesting, getting sponsored, and then paying for a delivery driver to be cleared, it just isn’t needed.
Trump has to order out mcdonalds like once a week id guess. Imagine what a pain in the ass it must be for that McDonalds to be security cleared on par with the white house chef

It’s one of those things that you don’t think about until someone abuses that fact to for far more dangerous information.

They probably have an employee that is security cleared as well, and gets paid a little more for it.
