Prescribed electronic medical equipment is normally not prohibited, but requires
coordination with the Physical Security Division (M51) prior to being brought into any
NSA building.
Class II prohibited items are those owned by the government or contractors which
constitute a threat to physical, technical, or TEMPEST security. Approval by designatedorganizational officials is required before these items can be brought into or removed
from NSA facilities. Examples are:
a. Transmitting and receiving equipment
b. Recording equipment and media
c. Telephone equipment and attachments
d. Computing devices and terminals
e. Photographic equipment and film
A more detailed listing of examples of Prohibited Items may be obtained from your
Staff Security Officer or the Physical Security Division (M51).
Additionally, you may realize that other seemingly innocuous items are also
restricted and should not be brought into any NSA facility. Some of these items pose a
technical threat; others must be treated as restricted since a visual inspection does not
readily reveal whether they are classified. These items include:
a. Negatives from processed film; slides; vu-graphs
b. Magnetic media such as floppy disks, cassette tapes, and
VCR videotapes
c. Remote control devices for telephone answering
machines
d. Pagers
