When a Facility Security Committee (FSC) or the highest-ranking official of the sole Federal agency occupant or designee requires inspections at a Federal facility, then no person required to be screened may enter a secure area without submitting to the screening and inspection of that person and all accessible personal property or vehicles. Security personnel shall conduct inspections and screening as follows:

(c) Security personnel may deny admission, remove, or take other appropriate law enforcement action with respect to any person, article of personal property, or vehicle that fails to comply with security procedures, delays or impairs the inspection process, or presents a threat to either security personnel or other persons in or on Federal property.
