My impression is that the requirement to leave ID at the security desk is
generally to provide an incentive to return the visitor badge at the end
of the visit, rather than for any further verification of identity.
Requiring deposits of car keys, transit passes, shoes (for those parts of
the world where shoes are removed in datacenters out of respect for the
routers), winter coats, or other articles necessary for leaving the
datacenter might be even more effective.
