LOL. I live in Northern Virginia and that craziness does not surprise me one bit!

One night on the way home from grabbing one drink I accidentally turned into a govt complex that was probably CIA or something. I figured I'd tell the guys at the gate I made the wrong turn and they'd let me leave. Low and behold I was held within the gates for 3 hours, subjected to a series of alcohol tests conducted by several feds who rolled up in unmarked black suburbans repeatedly asking me what I was doing there. At the end of all the huffing and puffing I passed every single test and was warned I got off easy as I was clearly intoxicated and next time things wouldn't go so smoothly. This was after I agreed to a voluntary search of my vehicle with hopes of just getting the hell out of there.

Yep, when I worked out in Reston (also in Northern Virginia area, for those on the other coast) there was a building like that right next to ours. If you pulled into their driveway by accident, you could expect to have machine guns pointed at you until they determined you were not a threat.

Occasionally, we would have an interviewee show up 20 minutes late for an interview in a cold sweat, shaking, and looking like they had seen a ghost--all because of a wrong turn.
