[AG-TECH] AG Venue Access Control

[Don Morton]

The low-budget/low-tech approach I've used, when necessary, is to
take advantage of the rat decryption feature whereby only folks
with a common password can hear each other.  As far as video goes,
I guess the option is to simply ensure that classified material
doesn't make it in front of the cameras.
