ATC visit questions?? (Operation rain check)

A group of friends of mine visited LAX Tower, and had no
problems.

A friend and I visited our tower last week. No identification required.
We have been flying there for over a year, and they know the airplane is
hangared/home there. It's nice to have *a little* familiar rapport with
the controllers if you have time to meet with them outside of the calls
themselves. Our tower encourages that among tenants of the airport, they
even have BBQs to facilitate it. Makes for a more friendly, cooperative
environment, IMO.

Do you have a link on information on a Operation Rain Check in the
San Francisco (probably Norcal) area? I called around and didn't
get anywhere.

Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if has anyone visited ATC facilities recently and had
to prove US citizenship. I have heard some people that visited Potomac
Approach were not asked for this, but Seattle Approach keeps blocking
non-citizens including permanent residents.

Seattle Center told me that Canadians were not allowed to tour their
tower.

Y'all come over here, you can even take over for 10 minutes while the
controller goes out for a smoke
