As discussed in Si h 90-801-00, a loaded handgun was detected by a contractor security officer on June 13, 1990, while x-raying personal property brought to the Alternate Access Point portion of the protected area. The handgun was in a carrying bag brought to the access point by a utility non-licensed construction engineer. The engineer was denied unescorted access to the protected area, and he was detained for questioning. After qusstioning and determining the individual had a valid Commonwealth of Massachusetts license to carry a firrrrm, the engineer was allowed to leave the controlled area with the handgun. Investigation determined the engineer unintentionally brought the handgun to the access point. The engineer forgot that the handgun was put in the carrying bag for temporary storage while off duty. The engineer received disciplinary action in the form of a suspension from work.
