      I'm an IT intern. I'm not in any of the economics departments. And if I were, I wouldn't be at liberty to say anyway.

        I love Ron Paul for his stances on guns and dope, but the Federal Reserve business never made sense to me. If we lose the Fed and go to the gold standard, it would be gold mining firms like Barrick Gold that cause inflation. Would anybody prefer a foreign corporation to have control over our money supply?

            Have the public tours resumed yet?
            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

              God, no! Visitors have to be escorted by personnel and be individually invited. The FRB police out front have papers with names of all of the authorized visitors. Visitors come up and present photo ID. Then the person signing for you has to come and get you and let you in.

              I can't really say anything else about the security without getting into confidential stuff.

                This is typical for banking, if not most jobs.

                  In the past my driver's license and birth certificate were enough.

                    Welcome to the adult world.

                    And birth certificate? You mean Social Security card?

                      i can honestly say i've never been fingerprinted or had to show ID for any job i've ever had.

                        You haven't worked in America.

                        No ID? What kind of bizarro-world is Britain/Brazil?

                            A birth certificate is fine for an I-9, for trying to prove employment eligibility.

                              Oh I know but it's much easier to just use a social security card. That's what I thought was odd.
