Gaining access to The Pentagon not a 'walk in the park'

And if you think it's tough to hack your way inside Fort Knox, then you haven't known true failure until you have tried and failed to gain access to the nation's most-powerful building. Inside the Pentagon, numerous life-changing decisions are made on a daily basis and all for our security.

The security is so tight at the Pentagon, you have to be cleared on several security levels just to get to ask if you can make an appointment with whomever you need to meet.

Tough? You bet. And after 9-1-1, the security has been upgraded more than a few times to make it even tougher for criminals to hack the highly-complex computer system as well as the security system that surrounds this famous building.

Among these important men are Adm. Gary Roughead, Chief of Naval Operations.
