DISCO DAVES TUNNEL GUIDE
Tunnel security
As your tunnel grows many a stranger coming onto site will enquire most politely if they could possibly "have a look". To some of these people it will be easy to reply with a blunt no.To the majority use your discretion and point out it is a question of security. After all, not knowing who they are, you are quite justified in refusing them entry. During construction people working on the tunnel will fall into roughly two groups. Those who help out from time to time with bagging and those who work on the tunnel full time and actually live in it. The smaller latter group will have an unwritten natural authority over the tunnel. Letting strangers in will slow up work and once you let one person in it's unfair to stop others. Better to refuse people entry and be called a fascist, than to spend half the day getting no work done while you're busy being nice and showing people around a new tunnel. Though most people will respect your wishes, the paranoia over security has sometimes gone to extremes. It's unlikely the Bailiff tunnellers or "Men in Black" will pay much attention to information received on tunnels. Of course they can get an idea of what they're going to encounter. But at the end of the day they take a tunnel as they find it when they arrive on site. A plainclothes MIB tunneller or police officer may briefly see the defences of a tunnel before eviction, but so what?. They won't know from a brief look what's the total strength of, say, a door. More importantly- could they guarantee that these defences will be the same when eviction starts? For example let's suppose they manage to film the tunnel prior to eviction and they then approach the eviction using this information as a guide. Any change in the tunnel layout could be disastrous, as the MIB could chop through a once undefended wall and into somebodies arm. Working throughout the world as professional tunnel rescuers, safety is always the MIB'S overwhelming priority. They have a reputation to think of afterall. Gaining information prior to an eviction may speed up the job for them. But as they are a private company being paid by the day why should they rush? That said there's nothing wrong with being a little paranoid and watchful of those who enter the dark depths that is your home.
