When I worked at one of the labs, they checked our badges like we were criminals.
Yeah but it was after you had walked up to the entry point. These guards had become mighty complacent to let him get that close with a long weapon without noticing the weapon or an attempt to conceal it as he approached. Rent a cops basically are equal to school lunch line workers. Sadly I always feel vulnerable when I have to go to court (state or federal) and leave mine in the car since those guards are usually over 60-65 and sitting reading the paper as you enter. They have no more clue than my 15 year old daughter what is happening around them.
