also some of the pre 9/11 stuff with DC area childhood and security agencies...
like my elementary school class took a field trip to the pentagon and also another year to dulles airport and we actually all sat on an airplane and got to take barf bags home with us. a bunch of elementary schoolers and their chaperones. it is laughable now.
i mean that and just waiting for people at the gate. there was also a time we took my dog to the gate to wait for someone's departure at the airport with the shuttle, and we stuck him in a backpack for the ride across because dogs had to be in luggage for the shuttle ride.
also when I was learning to drive stick, we had to find roads that were not used much but where you could get up into second gear. so there is one over by Claude Moore Colonial Farm which also happens to abut the CIA. eventually the very polite guard but slightly nervous asked us to practice somewhere else, but it was after I'd driven and stalled up and down the road about fifty times. it was also not a direct order or anything, just "please can you make my life easier and go elsewhere."
