Used to report/anchor in Amarillo. There would be "little" accidents at least once a year.
In addition, security agents would try to penetrate the plant. Would get in, or get "something" out about once a year as well. Onetime they loaded an entire "something" on a forklift and drove it out of building. Set off detectors, but the testers convinced guards it was the forklift itself, not the device. Idiots.
Security was PRIVATE, by Wakinutt (SP?)
They did have one interesting area, though. To get in there, you had to sign paper that said, if you were detected doing something wrong, you would be given one minute to surrender and come out. After that, the SWAT team would enter the area and kill you, even if you tried (after the one minute) to surrender!
You had to sign notice to that effect to access area.
It got your attention.

It was Wackenhutt Security. (I used to report in AMA, too)
Must say, though, that the form they made you sign at the ASARCO copper-smelting plant was almost that serious, and ASARCO security stuck to us like ticks...no doubt making sure us starving reporters didn't make off with any of the silver or gold by-product. :)
