Actually, it's probably the opposite. The searches are more than likely to make sure you're not bringing anything in that could exfiltrate data like a camera, usb drive, or even pen and paper.

I work in a similar, secure environment. We are not allowed to bring any items in other than our persons, smart card that we scan on enter/exit, and the clothes on our back. We have to leave the facility to use the bathroom, eat, drink, etc.

The typical SCIF is configured with the break room, bathrooms and maybe lockers outside of the secure perimeter, the "regular" office space. Along with a wall mounted shelf area for people to put their wallets and phones.
i see, thanks!
