A Somewhat irrelevant Question

When I read this blog entry about Google arrogance that Dan Gillmor posted  on Bayosphere  it made me think of a question I have been asking myself every time I drive by the Google headquarters in Mountain View. The Google headquarters is in the former Silicon Graphics building on Amphitheatre Parkway just down the street from Intuit. At each entrance to their parking they have a uniformed guard posted. The guard  checks cars as they drive into the parking lot. I wonder why their parking lot needs guards? Maybe there are other corporate headquarters building in Silicon Valley that have parking lot guards but I don’t know of any.
