I know there have never been public tours. But even a public tour would expose the gold to no realistic risk. None whatsoever.
As I said, just accepting that the “no tours” policy is just government dramatic license to show how safe it is,,,, why then should a Senator or Congressman or even the President not be able to see it all with a few days notice?
There is only one reason, and it’s obvious.
“. But even a public tour would expose the gold to no realistic risk. None whatsoever.”
Well gosh, who would be the best judge of that? The people who have been invested with protecting the gold since the day the Depository was built or posters on the internet?
It’s in the middle of an Army armor post, not somewhere the public gets to wander about.
Ha, Treasury officials are just as honest as the IRS, the Administration, Congress and every other government entity. If a congresscritter were to visit, they wouldn't know a gold bar from a spray painted gold brick. The also wouldn't know how much each was supposed to weigh or how many total should be there. They'd merely take the word of the tour guide and tell the press they saw a pile of gold.
