It is difficult just to get in the front
door of the FSDO these days.

That made me laugh.

The last time I was at our local FSDO, they had just remodeled it, complete
with the latest TSA security measures. I had to talk to the receptionist
through a hole in a window, then press a button, then she pressed a button
and it was supposed to unlock the door so I could get in. Must have been a
big learning curve to the button system, took us about 5 times to make it
happen.

Then on the way out, she had to do the same thing. I was in the same room,
on the same side of the door as her, and she had to push a button to let me
out... weird... I asked her who would push the button if the building was on
fire...

So, you're right, it's hard to get in and out of the FSDO's front door these
days.
