In 1982, after being awarded the Stealth contract, Northrup converted an old Ford factory at Pico Rivera, in East Los Angeles, into a top secret military plant. All 4,000 workers at the Pico Rivera facility were given the ultimate secrecy rating, SAR, Special Access Required. This means that no discussion whatsoever about their work is permitted outside of the facility. From there, unmarked trucks carry the shipments to Pico Rivera at night. Military officers visiting Peek wear civilian clothes, and VIP helicopters land at nearby locations to discourage unnecessary interest.
Computers are in metal-lined rooms, and many computer cubicles are shrouded with curtains.
Workers in sensitive areas have to lock everything in a safe before even going to the bathroom. Hundreds of workers were required to take polygraph tests to ferret out spies and drug users. On the other hand the B2 development project is classified as SAR which is the civilian equivalent to this classification. Intuition alone would suggest that there is a connection. However, more than intuition is necessary to validate Gonsalves claim.
