Visitors are allowed. They are not allowed to wander around unescorted. If

take you into the building. Some employee or another must stay with you at all
times. The guards are armed because security is this place's middle name
(figuratively and literally).
National SECURITY Agency ?
Nevermind, IMHO word 'security' in the name is very bad reason to wear a
gun. Security as the need sounds better.
BTW: Let's assume the following "Hollywood" scenario:
A visitor comes in. It's enemy. We don't know it, yet. The visitor is
very special one - like Rambo + Chuck Norris + Schwarzenegger. He is not
armed - it is surely checked. However when he get in he gets the weapon
from first killed guard. Now he is armed and really dangerous.
OK, let's drop Rambo (he's immortable,a t least to the last part of the
movie), it is normal human. Normal human can be neutralized by 2-3-4
guards. When normal human gets the gun, he more dangerous.
AFAIK (vaguely recollection) many of the killed policemen in U.S. were
killed by their own guns.
Of course there are guns which works only when in owners hand, but this
becomes far off topic...
