[quote=LAAFTERHOURS]Two places with a heavy presence of power towers:

SEH (Old Glen off questhaven has them in above the backyards and some people in early 2007 were not only asking low 600s for those places, but taking pictures from the street for the MLS with a Tower behind the house). They run down the past Glen Ellen Place. Here is an image from the current listing on Glen Ellen:

The community below SEH (Old Creek Ranch?). The towers run right through the middle of that community. http://tempo5.sandicor.com/SNDImages/31/080077343_101_81.jpg

I found a listing about a month ago in Carlsbad and one of the MLS images was of the backyard, showing off the view. To the right of the home just over the fence was the top of a power tower. It was probably 10 feet from the fence, a child could toss a tennis ball and hit it.

It amazes me that someone would build so close to these towers. If one could look past the potential dangers (as noted above, it can be argued both safe and dangerous although im in the dangerous court), these things are eyesoars.

Don’t forget the SDGE switching station in Torrey Hills in Carmel Valley, as well as the petroleum and natural gas pipelines that run around their too.

stockstradr: She was privy to Top Secret company data as an intern? Really?

I was an engineering intern myself at Motorola (back in 1993 when it was actually a successful company)

I was amazed at the confidential information I had access to. As for the power line data, I believed that friend of mine when she told that story; she was a straight-up honest chick, also a 4.0 GPA student.

How is that possible? To get access to top secret information, that would have required a security clearance, which for an intern would have been impossible to get, considering a security clearance requires extensive background check that often takes months. An internship would have been over before the background check is completed. I know because specifically I was an intern at motorola and defense companies, and the company mistakenly started the process of applying for a security clearance for me when I started, and cancelled it about 6 weeks later after they realized I was an intern.

Side note: other things I learned early on was Motorola and defense companies were not going to be my thing (when a company spends money on a museum about itself and hires FTE’s to run it, you know the company was wasting money. if you were a mot intern, you know exactly what I was talking about). Not to mention working Arlington Heights and Schamleberg(sp) blows.

[Allan from Fallbrook]

FLU: My old man was an aerospace engineer for Ford Aerospace in Palo Alto back in the early 1970s through the late 1980s (when he retired).

He worked on the Intelsat and Milsat (intelligence and military satellites, like the KH-11 Vulture) programs and had Top Secret clearance. He had worked on the F4 Phantom avionics program in El Segundo prior to that, where he also had a Top Secret clearance.

There was an instance when a Top Secret document was misplaced and they locked his building down for a day and a half, trying to find it. They even called in a USAF investigator following, and went through a rigorous teardown of existing procedures to make sure it didn’t happen again.

I grew up in the Bay Area during a period when defense companies like Lockheed, Ford Aerospace and the NAS Moffett/NASA Ames complex employed a lot of people, many of whom had Top Secret clearances. I also remember the fact that most of those folks did NOT discuss the projects or programs they were working on, simply because the risks were too high and you never knew who was listening (like when they discovered a Polish government spy posing as a janitor at Western Digital out in Sunnyvale).

The idea that some intern is running around with access to Top Secret data is hooey. Pure and simple.
