White SUV with blue logo on the door? If so they were Federal Protective Services.
Recently had to go into the Social Security office in Longview to request a replacement card - I found it odd that they had an armed security guard who was searching all bags/purses while all the other staff were behind a couple inches of lexan. The guard never asked any males if they had any weapons but searched the little old ladies purses for scissors, etc. like they are going to crash through the security windows and attack them over a $2 error in their check...

Lol. That is strange man, I have never been in a SS office. Most banks I have been up here do not have that kind of security, why would the SS office need it ?
Lose your wallet and SS card and you will enjoy that experience. I believe it's the only way you can get a replacement. When there, take a gander around at the people in the waiting area... the reason for armed guards will become apparent. Since I knew enough that it was Federal domain, I wasn't carrying, but was dam glad somebody on the payroll was. hash tag ....Mad Max meets Deliverance
There are a few more quasi/pseudo-government offices in town with armed security. Can anyone name another office downtown (Portland or Seattle) that has heavily armed security personnel, complete with shoulder weapons ?
