Security reasons? Seems the height of conceit there somehow....thinking a FSDO is a prime target of opportunity for a suicide bomber? I am sure they follow the Security Plan right down to putting power poles in parking spaces near the building....but don't block so many they have to walk any distance from their parking spots! You have to go through metal detectors and all that....take your pants and shoes off to get in? I don't reckon a brief case and overcoat would be welcome either? Magic wand all over your tush to make sure you are not body packing sticks of dynamite?

Ah, the Federal Bureaucratic mind.....brilliant ain't it?

The notice in bold print says....appointment required....then goes on to say...Non-US citizens must have an appointment. Usual redundant and unnecessary verbage. One would think if an appointment is necessary....an appointment is necessary.
