===Removal Of Material From NSA Spaces===
 
The Agency maintains strict controls regarding the removal of
material from its installations, particularly in the case of
classified material.
 
Only under a very limited and official circumstances classified
material be removed from Agency spaces.  When deemed necessary,
specific authorization is required to permit an individual to hand
carry classified material out of an NSA building to another Secure
Area.  Depending on the material and circumstances involved, there
are several ways to accomplish this.
 
A Courier Badge authorizes the wearer, for official purposes, to
transport classified material, magnetic media, or Class II prohibited
items between NSA facilities.  These badges, which are strictly
controlled, are made available by the Physical Security Division
(M51) only to those offices which have specific requirements
justifying their use.
 
An Annual Security Pass may be issued to individuals whose official
duties require that they transport printed classified materials,
information storage media, or Class II prohibited items to secure
locations within the local area. Materials carried by an individual
who displays this pass are subject to spot inspection by Security
Protective Officers or other personnel from the Office of Security.
It is not permissible to use an Annual Security Pass for personal
convenience to circumvent inspection of your personal property by
perimeter Security Protective Officers.
 
If you do not have access to a Courier Badge and you have not been
issued an Annual Security Pass, you may obtain a One-Time Security
Pass to remove classified materials/magnetic media or admit or remove
prohibited items from an NSA installation.  These passes may be
obtained from designated personnel in your work element who have been
given authority to issue them.  The issuing official must also
contact the Security Operations Center (SOC) to obtain approval for
the admission or removal of a Class I prohibited item.
 
When there is an official need to remove government property which is
not magnetic media, or a prohibited or classified item, a One-Time
Property Pass is used.  This type of pass (which is not a Security
Pass) may be obtained from your element custodial property officer.
A Property Pass is also to be used when an individual is removing
personal property which might be reasonably be mistaken for
unclassified Government property.  This pass is surrendered to the
Security Protective Officer at the post where the material is being
removed. Use of this pass does not preclude inspection of the item at
the perimeter control point by the Security Protective Officer or
Security professionals to ensure that the pass is being used
correctly.
