I arrived at the guard shack with the photo ID specified on the web site, but was turned away because I am not a US citizen and did not have my passport with me. The fact that I am a permanent resident made no difference. The one bright spot in all of this was that the security guard saw that I was a genuine aviation nut and went out of his way to collect a packet of information (leaflets, handouts, booklets etc)for me. One day I'll be back!
