Check around for little innocuous signs that probably have been obscured on the bulletin board, or check with your Admin Services Office. Government facilities have *always* had a form of "by entering this facility, you consent to a search of yourself and your effects" policy.
Also, check to see if there are various levels of security awareness for your work facility and be familiar with them. I wouldn't be surprised at the heightened levels at a government site.
None other than John Adams pushed the Alien & Sedition Acts in 1798:
ALIEN AND SEDITION ACTS
Four laws passed in 1798 by the Federalist-controlled Congress to curb domestic dissent. The legislation was prompted by vitriolic criticism from Thomas Jefferson's followers and the propaganda activities of pro-French and anti-British aliens (foreign-born residents who have not been naturalized). (1) The Naturalization Act extended the period of residence required for aliens to obtain citizenship from five to fourteen years. (2) The Alien Enemies Act empowered the president to expel foreigners judged dangerous. (3 and 4) The Alien and Sedition Acts forbade treasonable conspiracies and any criticism of federal officeholders that was intended to defame them or to bring them into public contempt or disrepute. Ten Jeffersonian Republicans (Democratic-Republicans) were convicted under these laws and suffered heavy fines and imprisonment. The Kentucky and Virginia legislatures passed resolutions declaring the acts null and void. The resulting public uproar to the Alien and Sedition Acts was a key factor in the collapse of the Federalist Party, the election of Thomas Jefferson to the presidency in 1800, and the control of Congress by the Democratic-Republicans

Scary thing is, there are suggestions bandied about not to far removed.
I was expecting to have everything reset back to 1970. I was looking forward to men again on the moon and the Boston Bruins having a championship-caliber team.
Then again, I could do without the Vietnam War Redux. Oh well.
Here's the scoop:
Police install cameras
Police take picture of guy
Police put guy's picture in a magazine
Woman buys magazine, reads article
Woman believes (mistakenly) that guy in picture is her ex and calls police.
Police go after man
Man gets angry
However....
Tampa police Detective Bill Todd, who took the call from the Tulsa woman and interviewed Milliron, said Milliron did not seem upset.
"He was laughing about it," said Todd, who spearheaded the software project that captured Milliron's image.
So, authorities can invoke the Good Humor Man in the case of constitutional improprieties?
Let's see, get pissed, piss off cops, get hauled down for being uncooperative.
Laugh, let authorities think it's not an inconvenience, releases liability.
Can I have a Popsicle with that Fifth Amendment Violation?
* They can justify their ban on cloning
* They think they can prevent clones from "attacking"
* They can "take back our children" from the evil clutches of Hollywood
* They can remove the scourge of Jar-Jar Bink--- you know, they might be on to something.
If the Internet Ceases, then society will regress to the point when you can only create pr0n from whatever scraps you can find in the dilapidated ruins of New York City.

On one hand, Four Words of Dread and Doom: "Deanna, take the helm!"
OTOH, It's nice that the KITT 2000 is only two or so years off.
.... um, CmdrTaco, or CowboyNeal?
... The Taliban could use cartoons from "The Family Circus" to plan strikes?
"Who's responsible for this terroristic attack?"
"Not Me." "Ida Know."
"Make Carousal Fast!"
"Yes! You can gain Sanctuary in the privacy of your home!"

Given that logic, one cannot make fun of Mary Kate & Ashley Magazine without reading it cover to cover. Yikes.

At that point, you'll be screaming in non-stop terror and beyond the point to use humor in order to combat the horror.
Somehow, that makes sense why W95 was codenamed "Chicago".
Will the next version of Windows be developed under "Daley"?
True. How many Teachers-in-Space have there been? And how many Billionaire Space Tourists have there been?
I'm just picturing officials trying to get Bobby Fischer (c. early-1970s, at his most tempermental) to give a sample...

"Oh no! Now their doing it *clone* style!"
Politicians will rally around this:
* They can justify their ban on cloning
* They think they can prevent clones from "attacking"
* They can "take back our children" from the evil clutches of Hollywood
* They can remove the scourge of Jar-Jar Bink--- you know, they might be on to something.
... if you wait until after the bill becomes law and you comment on Torricelli's website from school, you'd be criminally liable.
I heard Ttttt and Martin O'Hare are trying to form an alliance to get John Carter banished, unless Marvin gets Head of Habitat..
