Fairfax County General :
Fairfax Underground
Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
I heard about this through rumor mill, so checked as far as I can.
Take a look at ANY intersection around Fairfax County. You will see a metal storage container about seven feet tall. The rumor is that it is full of electronics the county doesn't want people to know about.
My fiirst thought is that it is controllers for red lights or maybe traffic cameras. But lets face it. Red lights can be controlled by a $100 SOC computer.

The hardware inside the box is used to collect the information needed by those that collect the information about those that the information is needed.

Those are the computer systems and timers for the traffic lights at the intersection. You'll see them opened up periodically when police are controlling the lights if there's an outage or issue.

Seven feet tall, you say? That's where the power elite stash incarcerated political prisoners, to give them time to consider the error of their ways.
In Lubyanka, home to the KGB, in the basement there were cells that were too small in every direction for an adult human to stand, sit or lie comfortably. A few weeks of that and your screws were quite loose.
