   Reminds me of a story I heard from an alarm co owner who did a security   
   system in a federal law enforcement building.  Every conductor had a   
   white jacket, and no conductors were allowed to be labeled.  All devices   
   were tampered, so they couldn't identify any conductor without   
   triggering the system.  As long as batteries were good you couldn't even   
   power it down without triggering it.  All they could tell was these   
   conductors coming out of this device went to this device.  Yes, I know   
   about piercing probes.  I've used them.  Heck telephone tests sets have   
   them by default.  I have 3 or 4 good ones still around somewhere.
