Level 3's one of the worst, they just assume if you can open the 
front/side door you can go anywhere. I guess it's trying to get the 
balance right where you have the access you need while making things secure.

Guess thats where the headache is.

Interxion Brick Lane is reasonable, they have security patrol's who know 
exactly where your meant to be and if your not in the right place you 
get a 101 questions as to why. Getting in in the first place is a pain 
though. I guess that's not really practical somewhere like Telehouse due 
to the size and amount of people that go in there.

Oh and I ment to say "9 out of 10 times" not 19... Damn typos.

(On a side note I do think Redbus Sov's eye scanner is an amsuing waste 
of time and money... Don't think I have ever seen that working properly)
