This is a picture from inside a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility aka a makeshift collapsible shelter that lets top government officials discourse top secret information anywhere in the existence . As you could see by the fugly floral carpeting , Obama ’s tent was propped up inside a hotel .
SCIFs are in reality very interesting . They ’re design to withstand anything from eavesdropping to estimator hacking and fit in to the BBC , made from “ a secret material which is designed to keep emissions in and listening devices out ” . Hey , that “ secret material ” look like gloomy tarp to me , but what do I know . More seriously , circling the exterior of the SCIF is a “ pack of electronic waves ” which prevents signal from bewilder in or out of the collapsible shelter . Though they allow a unassailable and encrypt earphone line to get out ( as can be seen in the picture ) .
It ’s good to know how cautious they are though ! They scout out construction the President will visit beforehand to check where they can place the tent . Ideally , the SCIF is far away from windows and concentrations of people . Sometimes they even create a SCIF with its own air travel supply and control the perimeter with sentry duty . They ’re constantly amend the SCIF , which is supposed to be 99.9 % infallible . [ BBCviaKottke ]
