Add a bald head with a barcode on the back and you don’t even need charisma.
Former security guard on a variety of different kinds of posts. This is 100% accurate for anywhere that doesn’t require ID or a scanner card or some shit.
Even if you need Id/scanner. If the check is at the elevator on the ground floor it may often as well not exist.
add a hard hat and you’re in
Carry a ladder, security will open gates for you.
And act like you ain’t got time for anyone’s shit.
I’ve worked events, and carrying a 6’ ladder with hi vis and a dome shell while grumbling is instant access wherever you need to go. Just make sure to not stop and look around cause your cover will be blown.
I was an internet cable installer in Tulsa. Gated communities and apartments everywhere. Out of 1,000+ visits, only got hassled once.
White one, no work marks
So on most sites, black i s reserved for management. Management goes where they want but also come up randomly from head office so no one questions that they haven’t seen you before.
Could be a local thing. Haven’t seen black helmets much here. Good to know
Also works for inside locations if you are carrying a large bag of food or several pizza boxes. I’ve snuck into some concerts with the pizza box method.
I got backstage access at a U2 concert pretending to be delivering potatoes.
Damn, free concert and pizza??? Talk about two in one deal
I mean, they probably still bought the pizza. I don’t think they made it from scratch and then put it in an old pizza box…
No they put on a high vis vest walked into a pizza place, grabbed pizza and was off to next target
As someone who has experienced this phenomenon first hand: being white helps.
I’ve had a surprising amount of success just walking in/past security.
I feel walking up, talking on the phone, sounding pissed while flipping through the pages alone would open a lot of doors. Don’t need to be too charismatic when you look like some tiny bullshit away from crimes against humanity.
Except for places with access cards and pin pads. You need to have both hands fully occupied and some sort of a clipped on badge for those.
Then you just wait until somebody enters in.
When the person opens the door you run to them and yell “wait wait wait” while frantically gesturing. After you enter - say quick “thank you” and disappear.
It’s all about projecting confidence that you are the person in control. Don’t even need the right clothes or a clipboard. Some of my favorite scenes from the Beverly Hills Cop movies is when Axel does this kind of thing. Catch people by surprise, flash an ID without showing it, look pissed. “Is that your Porsche outside???”
This is just a screenshot from Hitman 2
Most restrictive areas you can walk in completely nude with A four story tall T-rex and no body would notice.
Or more accurately no body would care because it’s not there job to care
My point is, most of our restrictions in life are our own making and when we allow ourselves to succeed not even the angels can stop us, or some other bs self help saying
there
The most charismatic man I know is my uncle, he worked right near the WTC on 9/11 and even though they closed his bridge home because it was 9/11 he sweet talked his way across.
I worked at a pizza delivery shop at the time and just used empty pizza boxes
You can also use Wisdom for knowledge checks to blend in!
Unless you find an automation expert, who’s been encabulating at an alarming rate for their entire career as a PLC snakes and ladder logic engineer.
Act like you belong.
Keeping a few lightly- to moderately-used/scuffed common hard hat brands in your trunk will go a ways to helping you sell the bit too
