===Prohibited Items===
 
Because of the potential security or safety hazards, certain items
are prohibited under normal circumstances from being brought into or
removed from any NSA installation.  These items have been groped into
two general classes. Class I prohibited items are those which
constitute a threat to the safety and security of NSA/CSS personnel
and facilities.  Items in this category include:
 
a.  Firearms and ammunition 
b.  Explosives, incendiary substances, radioactive materials, highly volatile materials, or other hazardous materials 
c.  Contraband or other illegal substances
d.  Personally owned photographic or electronic equipment including microcomputers, reproduction or recording devices, televisions or radios.
 
Prescribed electronic medical equipment is normally not prohibited,
but requires coordination with the Physical Security Division (M51)
prior to being brought into any NSA building.
 
Class II prohibited items are those owned by the government or
contractors which constitute a threat to physical, technical, or
TEMPEST security. Approval by designated organizational officials is
required before these items can be brought into or removed from NSA
facilities.  Examples are:
 
a.  Transmitting and receiving equipment 
b.  Recording equipment and media 
c.  Telephone equipment and attachments
d.  Computing devices and terminals 
e.  Photographic equipment and film
 
A more detailed listing of examples of Prohibited Items may be
obtained from your Staff Security Officer or the Physical Security
Division (M51).
 
Additionally, you may realize that other seemingly innocuous items
are also restricted and should not be brought into any NSA facility.
Some of these items pose a technical threat; others must be treated
as restricted since a visual inspection does not readily reveal
whether they are classified.  These items include:
 
a. Negatives from processed film; slides; vu-graphs 
b. Magnetic media such as floppy disks, cassette tapes, and VCR videotapes 
c. Remote control devices for telephone answering machines 
d. Pagers
