In the case of a fire tenents try to get out of the house and usually there is a normal manual turn lock on the inside of the door that works without electricity.
For the fire fighters, I assume they break down the door anyways?
I've personally been on support screen sharing conferences with the DoD before as a third-party consultant/contractor. They do not provide all contractors, especially third party, with DoD managed devices and in those cases I always thought that it was a bad practice. I asked for the people on the conference to e-mail me the root CA cert to validate the thumbprint was the same as the site but I'm not sure everyone would do that and instead blindly choose the 'proceed anyways' option.
/edit.
That was a very long time ago though so I'm not sure if they're even using that same screen sharing site anymore or if they've since changed it to use a public CA root cert.
Fair point, I didn't really consider the issue with the other CAs that are currently trusted.
Isn't it a double edge sword though with what they chose to do instead? By the DoD using their own CA people accessing their sites externally or on non-DoD devices cannot reliably know if they're being ease dropped on either. It has it's benefits for DoD employees using DoD devices but anyone outside the DoD needs to roll the dice or first request the CA root cert from a DoD employee?
I have ranted to co-workers for years now about the DoD with their third party root CA cert. I never know if the link I'm accessing is actually for the DoD or not.
I personaly cannot think of a good reason they do this. Maybe they argue that they don't trust any CA Authorities other than themselves due to issues in the past like with symantec https://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/podcast/Risk-Repeat-Ba... or entrust
