    This is a Federal Installation ! Which means an Enchanced Security Check . All metallic objects removed & placed in the Containers . All bags are Electronically Scanned and a Walk-Thru Metal Detector ! Timely and worthwhile .nnI came to attend a Housing Workshop . Extremely , educational and definitely worth the time spent !

    The employees were very friendly and helpful. I was in and out of the SSA office in just 30 minutes, including the line to get through security. I highly recommend getting there when they first open to avoid the long wait times.
