The Federal Courthouse in downtown Houston has US Marshals and very obvious security before you get in. I have a friend who works there and now I call her cell when I get there and wait for her outside.

Your building probably has access control devices to prevent people getting in without a badge, especially tailgaters. If you don't have to take your keys and change out of your pockets, and run your laptop through an xray machine, it's probably not a metal detector.

You can't legally carry in court and some other places, but if there's no 30.06 sign I don't know why it would be illegal to carry at work.

If you're worried about the thing that might be metal detectors, do a dry run with gym clothes and heavyhands in your bag, or some other innocent chunk of metal.
