to install spies, put them in as cleaners..
goodness knows i spit the dummy at the management when i could not access some parts of my past workplace "due to security reasons"... i entered the place on duty because the people there let me in...
they left and i had to clear up some work.. and was stuck in there!
i called the operations room and they dithered (probably due to more "security protocol" rubbish) for a while.. then... a cleaner let me out! with her pass!!
it was a 15 minute non-stop rant at the management.. i needed to go in there occasionally.. and my guys had to get in there too.. sometimes on a moment's notice... yet they will NOT give us access to the place!
the cleaners got access to ALL places including the computer server rooms and switch rooms!
go figure...
anyway, if you had watched Wall Street, you will see that by posing as a cleaner, the guy got access to a lot of confidential information, allowing him to make a killing in the stock market -

Don Muang to reopen, giving Thailand 2 international airports

IN BANGKOK - BANGKOK will have two international airports following the Thai government's decision yesterday to reopen Don Muang to ease the strain on its problem-plagued Suvarnabhumi air hub.
'There have been many setbacks at Suvarnabhumi Airport and we need to prepare to handle more passengers in the future,' said Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont.
The announcement marked a major turnaround for the government, which opened Suvarnabhumi four months ago to great fanfare.
It went further than an earlier plan to consider moving some domestic flights back to Don Muang temporarily following a rising tide of complaints about Suvarnabhumi. These range from inadequate facilities to cracks in taxiways and pavements.
Transport Minister Thira Haocharoen said yesterday that Don Muang would be ready to resume commercial operations within 45 days.
Detailed plans to transfer some flights and move equipment and facilities back to the old airport will be presented to the Cabinet within two weeks.
'Don Muang will permanently reopen, and we are now considering which airlines are to move back,' Mr Thira said.
The passenger load at the US$4.1 billion (S$6.3 billion) Suvarnabhumi - designed to process 45 million passengers a year in its current phase - was one factor in yesterday's decision.
It is already processing around 42 million passengers a year, but its internal space is constricted by design and layout problems, so it is already overcrowded.
Airports of Thailand (AOT), which operates both airfields, proposes to move local and international budget carriers and most domestic services to Don Muang.
The national carrier, Thai Airways, and two other airlines - Orient Air and Bangkok Airways - have agreed to transfer some flights to Don Muang.
Reopening the airport will present a mix of problems and benefits, analysts say.
The costs of using Don Muang are around 5 per cent lower than at Suvarnabhumi, and reopening it could eliminate the need to build an additional terminal for low-cost carriers at Suvarnabhumi.
An aviation industry analyst, who asked not to be named, said: 'Given the volumes projected for Bangkok in terms of international air traffic, it is quite normal to have two airports.'
But Mr Albert Tjoeng, Asia-Pacific corporate communications manager for the International Air Transport Association, said: 'Two airports will split the passengers, airlines, AOT's resources, and will lead to lower cost efficiency, and inconvenience passengers.'
He added that it was important to have a level playing field for airlines: 'Carriers should be free to choose which airport they wish to operate from. And the airport charges should be transparent and accurately allocated.'
Mr Peter Harbison, executive chairman of the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation in Sydney, told AFP news agency that splitting service between two hubs could discourage international carriers from using Bangkok as a regional base.
International carriers have warned that maintaining two airports could cause confusion for tourists and lead to delays if travellers get stuck in traffic while they try to make connections.
But Thailand's civil aviation chief Chaisak Angkasuwan told AFP: 'In Tokyo or France, they operate more than one international airport in a big city, so I don't see any obstacle for Thailand to do the same thing.'

I heard that (about the new Bangkok airport) on the news last weekend. What a shame. Most likely is due to corruption. Problem is they had engaged so many different subcontractors for the project so it would make it quite hard for them to figure out the actual culprit.
