2. When were you there? I was assigned 1981-1984.

It was also my last duty assignment, at the end of 12 years service. USAF, 30574, Digital Computer Repair.

At that time anything you were carrying was searched when you exited the building. If you had books, they would flip through the pages. A folder of papers from my desk file (military records) got a page-by-page check. I had an old broken power supply, and for that I had to have a property pass, and the serial numbers better match.

Since it has expanded so vastly over the past several years, I can imagine that a search of everything going out would become a huge bottleneck every day (unless they had hired a huge number of guards).
