wo days after bomb attacks at Brussels airport and on a packed metro killed 31 people and injured hundreds, a security guard who worked at a Belgian nuclear plant was murdered and his pass was stolen, Belgian media reported on Saturday.
The French language Derniere Heure (DH) newspaper reported the security guard's badge was de-activated as soon as it was discovered he had been shot dead in the Charleroi region of Belgium and his badge stolen.

I’d think all they need is one prototype badge to use as a template to make fakes. Better institute finger print access in a hurry.

Shows the subhumans are trying, and they will keep trying. Check out all the muzz’s working at nuclear plants and airports.
There are now reports that the badge was not stolen and it was a robbery
DEACTIVATED!!!
That means the badge is unique to the individual and uses digital scan to verify.
I”d say that too.
Of their security protocols are as stringent as the chemical plants around here, each badge is chipped and requires a swipe at each point of access. Even walking through an open door requires a pass over the reader as the system tracks who is in each portion of the facility.
What a badge can do is socially con other workers into breaking the rules or letting down their guard.
Could get him the the gate to the parking are for a car bomb?
Oh, those peace-loving moozlums...just being the termites on civilization they are.
“Could get him [in] the gate to the parking are[a] for a car bomb?”
Exactly. Just because it won’t grant total access doesn’t mean it isn’t useful.
More than 20 years later most people have accepted Perot was right about NAFTA and the debt. Twenty years later I hope people aren’t living under Sharia Law and thinking “Trump was right.”
I won’t be here but I mourn for the next generations.
Reported by a newspaper named “Last Hour”. Hmm...that might be true...
I can’t be sure about Belgian facilities, but here in the USA, parking lots and other “outside the fence” facilities are far enough away from the sensitive areas that even a large truck bomb won’t damage any of areas where radioactive materials are stored or utilized.
Access to the secure areas requires more than just flashing a picture badge.
The badges are electronically encoded, and some form of biometric data (finger prints, hand geometry, etc) tied to the individual is required for access.
There are other measures in place that make nuclear facilities very hard targets for terrorists; however, nothing is foolproof. My opinion is that the purpose of threats against nuclear facilities is primarily for propaganda value or to distract attention from the real targets. A serious attack on a nuclear facility would require expenditure of a large amount of resources with a low probability of success. In other words there are a lot more attractive targets available, but anything “nuclear” gets media attention and ups the fear factor.
