Long ago I worked at a company that had equipment sold to a US military contractor and we had to send someone onsite to fix it.
You were instructed that anything you had in your vehicle when you got to the gate (in the middle of nowhere) might be confiscated. Show up with the rental car, keys, ID, and necessary equipment only. Nothing but you and your clothing would leave the site, yes it cost a laptop each visit (that we sent ahead). ID, car and keys stayed at the gate.
Blindfolded while onsite until you got to the equipment, someone would take you to the bathroom.
It was a lot, but I suspect some form of “all electronics dropped here” should be the SOP in a lot of places.
It kinda horrifies me when I hear about congressional members upset about not being able to take their phones to some meetings and so on.
