How about he sets off the alarm on purpose, then enters the building while it goes off(ofc in another part of the building). Or he sets off the alarm multiple times, in response they get service crew to take alook. He lies in wait for the maintenance people and uses for instance the neuralring i suggested earlier to knock em out. Uses a special device to put his own pic on id card,then simply walks into the building. |

It was some of the Middle Eastern countries. They are a bit anal about those things.
Poppy seeds in bulk, however, can be used as off-the-shelf drug.

Americans also ran into the too high sensitivity problem. They got a supersensitive test for cocaine, and attempted to trace down banknotes that came in contact with cocaine, and track them back to dealers. Little did they know that virtually all money will test positive - rolled banknotes are used to snort the lines, and the contaminated notes, when stacked in the ATM machines, shed particles and contaminate other notes in the stack. Oops.

The same was discovered in London.

There was an episode of mythbusters about false positives on drug tests, and it was quite terrifying: just two small poppy-seed buns were enough to give them a positive result on heroin tests. And as they pointed out, if a potential employer does such a test on you, they probably won't tell you the result and you'll never know why you didn't get a job.
There was also a case of someone who ate a poppy seed baguette at an airport, flew to a country with zero-tolerance for opiates and was subsequently jailed there.
...so drug tests aren't quite the magic bullet that certain people choose to believe they are.
If the adversary has some detectors, you have two choices: try to not trip them, or flood them with false alarms.
An example comes from several cities where the police decided to use sniffer dogs in public transportation to search for drugs. People, rightfully irked, took water pistols with bong water and sprayed it in the vehicles, filling dogs' noses with so much signal they were not reasonably able to detect true targets.

Similar approach, the other way, could be used to put somebody in hot water. A bit of bong water on a luggage whose owner couple hours later lands in e.g. USA or other place with drug dogs common at the airport, and he gets some guaranteed fun on arrival.
Thomas, good ideas. I especially like the one about constantly tripping alarms until they're switched off. It's totally amazing that security guards would do something so stupid but also totally believable, and there's a timeless simplicity about that technique that would probably work on any security system.
Another variant on the alarm trick is tripping it all the time so the adversary just switches it off. I heard about infiltration of an embassy. The embassy had vibration sensors on windows. The adversary kept occasionally throwing little rocks on the windows, which triggered the alarm and attracted guards. Who after couple days of multiple alarms per night got tired of it. THEN the embassy was infiltrated through a window.
Yet another possibility is infiltrating the guards' comm lines. Take a transceiver tuned to the same frequency they use (assuming the most common situation that they don't use encrypted walkie-talkies), listen for a while to get used to their habits, then lure or instruct them to go out of your way. Basically hijack their communication to insert yourself into their OODA loop.
"Or he sets off the alarm multiple times, in response they get service crew to take alook."
Now that you mention it, I read about an Irish criminal who did something like that. He broke into an art gallery, hid, and waited for the owners to switch off the alarm before he actually stole the paintings. He then got away with art worth millions! (Unfortunately the art was so famous that he couldn't find any buyers...)
