>> Packet analysis was seen as the worst thing in the company

Wow, that is just insane... "We want you to put a nail in that board but, by god do not even think of using a hammer". That must be the worst case of "security" by obscurity I have ever heard. Was this one of the bigger companies or a smaller firm? I wonder what kind of decision making process leads to such policies.

A big company doing mainly nice white fridges and yellow construction machinery. But they also do parts for planes. After quitting I heard, they were having some military project and had strict rules for it... Same building, same strict rules for everybody.

If its the same building its not that secure I went for a job at hauntings (aerospace and weapons) years ago.

I wasn't even allowed inside the main plant for the interview - they had a room attached to the gate house they used.
