I know the Baylor police have the same code they use for
everything.  Fucking stupid.  They once had reason to believe it
was compromised so we had to go to each system and reprogram a new
code for them.

They don't even tell the department heads about the code.  One day
I was in a rare book vault (waterbug replacement) and the head of
the department came in demanding how I could possibly gain entry.
:-)  She called the campus PD and the officer had to talk her down
for a good five minutes before her rage went away.  The PD already
knew I was in the vault because I told them before I went in.  We
just made a note to have the dispatcher call the lady if we were
going in.

I think you are hitting 'reply to author'.  Same with Jim and
