I used to have ssh access with root password to a lot of major servers.. But I can tell you a situation wiht even more power than you descibed..

Stood in the middle of telehouse surrounded by the internet backbone and knowing ten minutes with a small pair of cutters would bring the country to a standstill.. an hour later same thing at redbus

On the floor with all the racks of internet servers.. they are all in what look like lockers... but on the floor in the corner are the new unused lockers waiting for servers and all have two keys taped to them.. individual and a master.. anyone could lift a master key..

Plug your laptop into one of them and download a film in seconds
