To get into the visitors center you have to go through the same kind of security as at an airport. Empty all the pockets, have a small purse, go thru the metal detector. They act as if you are going to hijack the dam. This just stupid as anything you can easily carry is absolutely harmless to the dam. Another case of over stepping what is really needed and infringing on our rights. Save your money and look around outside. You can even go into the gift shop, where you can buy a knife, something they ban at the visitors center. Hypocritical? I think so.
