It doesn't leak. Neither water nor data.
Yeah, if the Internet connections get cut, then we're not connected to the Internet. What's new? How does this affect the security of the data?
And as for overkill, what can I say? Should we skim a few feet off the concrete? Shave down the steel doors? Destroy a few redundant aircon units? What would you suggest?
If anyone has any sensible points, I'd be happy to address them.
Actualy, I'd guess it's a 'regional seat of government'

Radar stations, OTOH, need lots of space for kit, just like we do.

Snag is that, in the UK at least, ham radio is heavily restricted in what it can carry (in particular, no commercial traffic).
