My understanding was that eg darpa needed some physical security for the spaces their sponsored research took place in

Interesting, I was a grad student in 31 post-renovation and was told the exact opposite by my advisor

It's not classified stuff, but eg building 31 needed to be locked to the public so labs could get funding from the military None of the grad students working on those projects have security clearances or anything, it just helps them get grants

There was also regular theft from non-students and former students- "fabio" was a primary culprit I recall

Reply to comment by GM_Pax in Boston, rules of the road by PedXing23
Bikes are not subject to the same rules at all? Can use bike lanes, can ride against traffic on many one-way streets, should skip the line at a red light to use the 'bike box', should use right-most lane if not in bike lane or turning, not allowed on highways etc.
More, mindlessly following car rules on a bike is a good way to get flattened by a driver blindly turning right without looking (or caring that bikes "subject to the same rules as cars" have the right of way over cars turning).
I understand that your intent is good, but treating bikes exactly like cars is a good way to put bikes in danger. Bikes shouldn't have to be exactly like cars to use the road. Roads are not for cars: bikes, horses, scooters and everyone else have exactly the same legitimacy.
As for rules of the road -- are you as upset by drivers speeding?
