How many banks know what their customers have put in the safe deposit
boxes stored in the bank's vaults?  Do you want guard rummaging through
your equipment? Even if they opened the boxes how would a guard know
what's inside a 12000 router?

Rent the movie Infinity (1996) or read Richard Feynman's books describing
the security around The Manhattan Project at Los Alamos.
