David,
I worked at SuperMac at the time this situation occured. This story is mostly true, but whoever wrote it added some embellishments to the story. We never caught the call on tape, we didn't really know that the combination to the lock was for the armoury, there was no gunfire in the background, we didn't verify the location of the phone call thru the phone company. Basically they called us several days in a row asking for a back door into the Sentinel program and each time they were told the truth that there is no back door into the program. When we asked them where the person was who knew the password, we were told that they were "unavailable". Over a period of several days they talked to several people in the department - but I never spoke to them directly. At this time I don't remember who actually spoke to them, but there were several engineers.
