I do not think that is the case, FliesWay2Much.

At the federal office buildings I regularly visit (near DCA and ATL), the FPS utilizes both *contract* armed security building guards and sworn law enforcement officers (LEOs). The screening work is performed by the contract employees, not by federal employees. The LEOs enforce laws around the buildings and do crime investigations.
