When I worked for a defense contractor, we had similar procedures. When the printer repair guy came to our area, we turned on a blinking red light in the ceiling, and whpever let him in would yell “Unclean in the area.”

The printer guy was not appreciative.

Hello! It’s been forever!

The original has the screwy monorail… and I’m pretty sure it’s bigger.
