They know their illusion of "the other guy is the enemy" is crumbling. The Real Enemy is being revealed. That tiny fence will not save them from the Storm that is coming.
I was there last September. I watched it for a while from the park. There was no activity there whatsoever for hours (I didn't actually watch it for hours straight, but quite a bit of that time. I was curious since so much of my research has been focused around The Fed). I mean, I don't know what that building is used for really, or if there is ever anyone who goes in and out in "normal" times, but when I say "no activity" I mean none. Not a window cracked, not a light on, not a shadow in a room, not a door opening, not a person walking past the sidewalk towards it (except me), no one.
I had happened to be at the Philadelphia Fed a couple days before (I actually came across that one on accident) and it was the same. Completely dead.
This was on a weekday, during the day. There was quite a bit of activity everywhere else. It was surprisingly normal actually, all things considered.
Again, I don't know if that is normal, but it is odd for other buildings of that size. They were both completely empty of life. I'd call them "ghost towns" but there wasn't even ghost whispers. More like "voids in the spacetime continuum... with a stone façade."
I didn't walk up to the White House, though I saw it from the Washington Monument. It had a fence around it, but it was too far away to see if it had any activity.
This was six months ago, so I don't know what it's like now.
Also, The Fed is not a government building. It is privately owned. It is actually a Sovereign entity. Our government works with the Fed through a Treaty, just like the United Nations.

Or the building is empty now and off limits. (Is it? And since when? are valid questions here)

Who knows.
And hasn't it been mentioned that govt buildings in DC are like this? The White House being the most prominent example.
And thanks for your comment, very informative.
