I think it was a case of the security guys not engaging their brains really. 
Rather than asking they made an assumption. My colleagues were a bit stumped 
(there were 4 of us in there, all with permanent access) and of course, if 
you're stick inside one of the halls in LD9 they're faraday caged and you can't 
get any bloody mobile signal! Broke the glass, got us out. Job done, tis what 
the emergency release is for.
