The strangest thing just happened at my office...do I need a tinfoil hat?

[YOY]

OK so business as usual in my little small IT firm in Arlington, VA right? Then we get a knock on our door. I answer it and two woman both relatively young and fairly attractive smile (read: nonthreatening) and identify themselves as State Department Special Agents with badges of course. They claimed to be investigating reports that our office space was being used as a residential space...um...er...ok. I tell them that of course we're not that, but a simple small business government contractor, but we'd be happy to answer any questions they may have. Why not? :shrug:

Just a little background. We're a small office (2 people working full time and about 3 rooms including the meeting room.) For this office building my boss and I often discuss politics, he's a Bengali American Muslim and I'm a jaded Roman Catholic Christian, but we're both lefties through and through. Many of our conversations involves bashing the Shrubbery, current events, and religion. Our walls are paper thin, and our neighbors are A Christian lobbyist group (the kind that scare us both) and my boss often fears that they can overhear us...my reaction is usually "Let them! They might learn something!"

So we let them in and they have a camera and ask to take photos to support their files. I adamantly refuse and explain that we are developing a product for a client at this moment and will not let any information about this be recorded by non-office personnel (we are and the marketing materials and developmental work is all around us), but we will show them the office and explain that this obviously is not anything of the sort and that we are a legitimate business and we are registered on all the proper channels and there is most certainly no-one using this as a residential facility. We explain that the former residents here (a tourism board for a middle eastern country) never had their mail forwarded and we still get it on occasion. They seemed to hint that this may or may not be who they were investigating.

They leave and leave us their cards (at least one of them does.) My boss and I just looked at each other and said "What the fuck was that???" Should I be wigged? Because I definitely am! :tinfoilhat:

We talk to government folks all the time: DoD and Civilian! Including people doing background checks of prior employees, so it is not as if we are in any way not used to talking to the government agents! There was just something strange about this...very strange...
