I can attest to Porton Down security, having worked on a database for them.

Getting in is not dissimilar to your bank protocol, although not as high tech. Large automatic weapons replace the metal tube thingy. The biggest difference is that your escort is never allowed to leave you unattended; they either take you back to the guard or deliver to the next link in the chain.

Funny thing though, the scientist (nice chap) that I went to see always took me for a cuppa there and I swear I was unwell every time afterwards.

Of course, you know I have to kill you when you've read this - official secrets and whatnot - nothing personal.
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.
