C&C - Sinclair tells the journalist that C&C is "a secured area", which people were talking about when Talia turned up there; clearly it *is* supposed to be controlled, but people can still get there! The journalist herself, she apparently got in without difficulty. And I know G'Kar appears there at least once.

Most of the people you see in C&C are people with the authority to get to secure areas, or with an organisation to help them get in. Talia probably has permission to go into C&C for official reasons (such as presenting herself to the ranking officers, as required), G'Kar was an ambassador, and still has a lot of authority with the Narns and so may be let past if he wishes to speak to Commander Ivanova 'confidentially'.

Journalists are adept at getting into such places - it's part of the job after all - although it usually only works once before a particular security hole is closed.
