I do contract work for a company from Toronto that manages IT for national chains. So I find myself walking in to Bootlegger, Tip Top Tailors, Rickis, Comfort Inn, Golf Town, Hertz, etc. and asking to be let in to their back room where their IT stuff is. Only one single time did someone ask for my ID or some proof of the validity of my request. They lead me to the back and then leave me there alone for any length of time. Apparently these people know nothing about hackers or corporate spying, and have never watched a spy show on TV. That is seriously misplaced trust. 

Today I was doing just such a thing, left alone again, when I looked up directly above their IT rack, to see a water heater suspended on a platform directly over all their electronics. I guess water heaters never fail. Misplaced trust, again!
