I hope I'm not going too far off topic.

Sal, I'm adding a lot of  'possibly' extraneous info regarding your question about Court Security and I might not even have the correct court, but some details kind of led to a few offshoots. Here's where I'm going in the following info ----- 1) It appears the U.S. Marshals provide Security. 2) An Arabic sounding guy was tried on Obtaining Court Docs. that provided Opposition's Plans for a Court Case. 3) The Court is deemed "Inaccessable" due to Postal Service facility closure, for an extreme period of time. 

This is random, but might lead somewhere for somebody else. I'll keep looking and familiarizing to see if I find an Outside Security Contractor, but with what this one case shows is that the papers flow like water, and about any info you might want will be somewhere in them.

"Sattar also was investigated for obtaining the home address of other agents and prosecutors looking into the origins of Al Qaeda, a federal source told the Daily News.

Nevertheless, he was allowed to continue delivering mail to a facility inside a restricted section at Kennedy Airport.

Postal Inspector spokeswoman Pat Bossert confirmed that Sattar had access to Kennedy in picking up express mail, but insisted he did not have "special access" to other restricted areas." <<<<<< SNIP >>>>>>

"After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Sattar was reassigned to a post office in a remote section of Staten Island with no access to the airport.

She declined to discuss the FBI's investigation of Sattar's efforts to obtain addresses of agents and prosecutors."
<<<<<< SNIP >>>>>>>

"that might require certain services rendered such as access to certain people and/or records (jurors' names?). Chances are IMO that IF it is AKAL, there will be a subsidiary with a different name IF certain specific type services are required..."

This one was interesting for it's parallel potential and possibilities ------
