I can assure you that the I.D. Badge for the Test Site has absolutely NO mention of Area-51 anywhere on it! I have used and seen badges from Lockheed, Northrop, NASA, and USAF. Any that were of a Special Access, normally did not have much wrting at all. They may include your photo, and some boxes or numbers that are marked for your area of accessabilty. I had access to workers boarding Janet flights in Palmdale and you would not have a clue as to what the badges were used for. Very nondescript! And some of the workers would have a fit, if they had to show it! The typical bar code and probably some other info embedded in the badge.
