UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY IS PROHIBITED. ALL PERSONS AND VEHICLES ENTERING HEREIN ARE LIABLE TO SEARCH.

Any vehicle entering the installation is also subject to a search by the security guard. If the security guard deems the reason for entry acceptable, the visitor(s) may proceed onto the installation. Otherwise, individuals without proper identification and a valid purpose are refused entry.
