Tangentially: I wonder if the checker badge is a visual pun on the Arms and Influence cover.

I would bet a few dollars that no Facility Security Officer (the name for people who manage security programs for defense contractor, despite sounding like a Sunday name for ‘guards’) in the entire NNSA complex has ever read Arms and Influence. That’s not quite their demographic profile.
I'd take the other side of that bet. I've met some with pretty surprising backgrounds.
