In these parts, security has only gotten tighter with time. Pillars are
padlocked, and the vigilance is way up. Increased population and free
access to information on the Internet has made everything more
vulnerable, and Telus, anyway, is not ignorant of this.

Stuff I did as a teenager (don't tell my mother) I couldn't hope to get
away with now, and at my age, "I was just curious" doesn't cut it as an
excuse any longer.
