Authentic post-9/11 military security sign from Prince Sultan Air Base (PSAB), Saudi Arabia. This bilingual checkpoint sign reads “SEARCH LANE” in English and “خط التفتيش” in Arabic, directing vehicles and personnel through inspection lanes at the base’s entry control points. Signs like this were part of the heightened security measures implemented after the September 11 attacks, when PSAB became a critical hub for U.S. and coalition operations in the region.

Obtained directly at Prince Sultan Air Base (PSAB), Saudi Arabia, following the post-9/11 security operations period.

Used at an Entry Control Point (ECP) directing vehicles and personnel through inspection lanes.

Acquired by a U.S. service member  during time at disposal location at PSAB, and kept in private possession since.
