Is entry to a SCIF always based on an honor system? Are people required to deposit all electronic devices in a box before entering? No metal detector examinations required to enter?
It is generally an honor system where everyone deposits electronic devices in a box. However, the Facility Security Officer has the authority to personally check anyone in the facility for electronic devices. Most sane people comply with the rules due to the fact that they want to stay employed and avoid criminal charges (Unless you are one of the protected people such as Hillary and the omarosa dog.)
Honor system or not, if it’s the LAW then she broke it. And if it is, and she did, the only question that matters is “Do Laws Matter?”
