Corning technology theft incidents

Corning has second-tightest security Tom has ever seen (after nuclear weapons facilities), driven by past IP loss. Tom recently visited their computer-screen glass plant under confidentiality.

This is typical Corning. If you ever go to a Corning plant, they have more security than the federal government and most military installations, unless they have nuclear weapons. The tightest security I've ever seen is if they have nuclear material on site. Now, they may have tighter security to go to the White House or something, but the tightest I've ever seen is nuclear weapons. The second tightest is Corning. Corning has lost some very important technology to people who have stolen it from them, and as a result they are about as paranoid as you can be in terms of maintaining their intellectual property.
