[Ipg-smz] Anyone ever want to quit?

[Stephen Satchell]

When XCOR Areospace was still a going concern, there was a cry from the
engineers in the hanger from time to time:  Where is Scott Adams hiding
in here?

Remember that _Runaway Jury_ had as its launch a work-place shooting
when a fired employee came in with a semi-auto and killed people.

I still remember having to talk down an employee fired for stealing; he
brought a gun with him when he was to collect all his personal effects.
Scary.  (This was at InfoWorld Labs, where I was Director of Hardware
Testing.)
