Only thing I can figure is it was taken by non-scn work crews reno'ing the ship and they prob didn't even know what they were filming. I guess they had no scn guards watching 'em at that point, you'd've thunk they'da been made to hand over any cells and/or cameras (maybe it was snuck by anyways). But ya, bet DM's goin' CRAZY, LOL!
I DO wonder why the camera was covered by his hand AS he was walking back into the OT VIII courseroom...like he knew to do that, and if he was a non-scn....that wouldn't make any sense.
I feel sure they knew what they were filming. At about 1:00 on the tape, you can see a guy hanging onto the counter of the HGC board, reaching over with a phone. The guy with the camera has his back to the HGC waiting area where there is seating and he is facing the double locked security doors. They apparently had to wait to be buzzed in by security or something. Of course, the little green button he is pushing there is how one gets out of the confidential area. From the courseroom, one pushes a green button to get into the inner doors and then once those doors close behind him, he pushes another green button to get out of the doors leading to the outside.
It looks like there is someone else in the room with these workers; someone sitting at a long table, maybe doing admin or something. I noticed the shelves that hold the checksheets are empty except for perhaps some scrap paper or point system or something non-confidential. This is what would happen if a maintenance crew would come in after hours. Everything would be locked up. As far as I know, this and the HGC auditing rooms just to the right of these confidential doors (including C/S offices, etc.) were the only confidential areas on the ship. Even if renos were going on, I wouldn't know where else OTVIIIs would do their stuff if not here.
Even though you don't see it, there will always be a picture of LRH for the "hip hips" at the end of the night or after a win or a completion.
Security on the ship is probably close to lock down or something now that this information has hit the net. I can't even imagine how severe this is going to be for some.
