Question about the "Dancer's door" in her book

[Sec221]

I was on Amazon paging through the book. I was looking at the "door" she was gaining access to get inside the building.

Powell said that "key card" was used to gain access through the front and back door. She then posted a picture of the "Dancer's" entrance.

If you look at the picture of the door she gained access through, it has no key card access point visible in the picture nor is there any visible hardware (door knob) that would allow one to enter the building at that point.

That would indicate that it's only use is one way. In other words an emergency exit.

In all the buildings that I have been in that have controlled egress such as a "key card access", all access points are monitored electronically. This includes the fire exits. These are tied into the security system and are actively monitored. You have to disable the monitoring system. Only authorized personnel would have that privilege.

These doors are customarily "alarmed" to alert people that an "emergency situation exist" too.

So if someone would have went through that door, they would have set off the alarm and security. The UofL Police Department and City of Louisville Fire Department would have been notified and investigated.

Are the fire exits alarmed at Minardi Hall? In other words are they secured?

Not sure about the emergency exits being alarmed but I have been told that access to Minardi Hall is gained only through a hand print scan.

In most security environments, there is an alarm override code or an alarm disable option to open the doors without triggering an alarm. However, in any system worth its salt, that event is logged. The question is, are there cameras in that and are the logs retained.

Exactly!

There are security cameras everywhere public, inside and outside at Minardi Hall.

I would say that records like egress would be kept a long time in case of a system failure in regards to an evacuation.

Last thing, ONLY authorized personnel would be allowed to override the alarms. I would be willing to bet that McGee wouldn't be one of them either. Wouldn't have a reason to need such access at a residency building.

That confirms that all points of egress would be monitored.

It's the small things that trip you up.

Hopefully this will be looked into.

Hopefully this will be looked into.

The camera system data is only kept for about six months and the sign in logs for about 90 days or so.

Wait, are you saying that you took the time to read her garbage?

No. I was looking for a picture of the door she went through.

Spot on. Have we even looked to see if this woman isnt related in someway to boosters of another program? I wouldnt be surprised at all.

That seems odd given that it would not go past the time of the students residency at the hall.

 

[I am stupid]

Any way to post the pic? I would hate to have to buy the book just to see the door....

It's free to look at. Amazon link:

Just scroll down to the pic on Minardi Hall, it's the following pic.

 

[I am stupid]

Ok, thanks. Just want to point out that I doubt that is a alarm controlled door. Notice the rock laying there in front, that's a good ol' redneck doorstop if I have ever seen one.

I saw that too. However there does not appear to be any foot traffic marks around the slab to indicate that it is used to gain access.

Then I thought it could be a place to step out and smoke too. But I believe that all of those areas are "smoke free". Some people go a little overboard on that kind of stuff and probably narc whoever out.

Notice what is next to it? Looks like an A/C chiller unit for the building. It could have been left by a maintenance person going in and out of the build

A lot of possibilities.

However, someone has already posted on TOS that those doors are alarmed. But it doesn't mean that someone could have asked to turn that one door off.

The question would be how much attention would it draw if it was done at night over a period of time (frequency)? Or if it was done for the reasons above?

So lets get this straight....... Dancing whores, but its only a limited crowd? On a college campus, in a luxury dorm of all men and no one knew except a limited few?

D. Characters piss bottles got attention, but this somehow fell through the cracks?


I believe its a very elaborate lie.

When you start going over the details, your bullsh!t detector break the needle.

Document it and forward it to the NCAA and the University of Louisville. Might be very helpful.
