Staff were also warned against bringing any “prohibited items” — including, but not limited to, billy clubs, brass knuckles, martial arts weapons, axes or hatchets, BB guns, bows and arrows, dynamite or chlorine for pools and spas —

Those darn Kill joys at DOGE!

By Thomas English, Daily Caller News Foundation • Feb. 26, 2025


(DCNF)—The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) will allow ousted employees 15 minutes to retrieve personal effects from the agency’s headquarters Thursday and Friday, the agency posted in a Tuesday notice.

Former employees will be “escorted to their workspace” and undergo “x-ray machine screening upon entry” to the Ronald Reagan Building headquarters before gathering their items, according to USAID’s website. Staff were also warned against bringing any “prohibited items” — including, but not limited to, billy clubs, brass knuckles, martial arts weapons, axes or hatchets, BB guns, bows and arrows, dynamite or chlorine for pools and spas — with them during their allotted retrieval window.

The announcement comes as President Donald Trump, and with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), appears to advance toward the final phases of dismantling USAID.

That's pretty generous.

When I had Security at the Plant, the box walk was basically a 3 x 3 box, a guard, and 5 minutes to gather personal effects.
Anything more than that, was unnecessary drama

I know that might sound bad for me, but I am basically a mirror image of Tom Homan.

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

Were they provided empty copier paper boxes or did they have to bring their own?

Security is a mirage our minds construct so we can sleep well at night.

I never kept personal items in my workspace ... except for a mini-fridge to keep cold caffeinated soda handy for those late and long nights of work.  I did take that mini-fridge home.  No personal items, less crap to carry home on the subway when I get canned.
