I would seriously
doubt much underground construction due to the amount of caliche found in Nevada. This substance is as hard as concrete and
is a "terror" when found during construction of a home pool. It adds thousands of dollars to construction due to the difficulty in removal without
using explosives.
As for Lazar's story on how he got up there, it's all crap. You do
NOT go anywhere (Area 51 or TTR) without FIRST having your T.S.
clearance...no matter how "necessary" your skill is. Maybe Einstein could have quickly gotten a T.S. clearance for A-51 but Lazar was not that
brilliant. In fact, his education has been called into question numerous times. EVERYONE goes through a thorough background investigation
before his or her T.S. clearance is even considered. Any questionable items in your past will end up in the background check being terminated and you
will NOT be given ANY clearances, period. The SSBI/TS clearance process takes at least 7 months if you've never had a T.S. clearance. I know people
who have waited over 2 years for their clearances. The wait times are worse during a presidential election year because all the personnel around the
new president have precedence over anyone else.
