Good for you. That's insane and probably illegal. Dunno about the states, but over here security don't even stand in the doorway if they're detaining someone in case it counts as false arrest. I can't imagine what locking someone onto a site would get you.
Given the stories I've heard from you and others, I've no idea how some of these places stay in business. Government contracts aside I don't see how they could keep workers with that kind of behaviour.
True. I really have no idea what was going through those people's minds. They tried slow walking me checking out my tools and then when I forced them to examine my tools they slow walked giving me the paperwork that the tools had been checked and then called to tell security to not let me out. At that point, I was really ready to bash some heads and go to jail. But, realizing I could just climb over the fence and walk away that's exactly what I did. I might have tossed some colorful language over my shoulder as I walked off.
