I'd guess that they load/unload their sidearms in that "security booth" because of some silly rule requiring their guns to be unloaded at certain times or in transit to certain areas.
Reminds me of an incident when I was at Ft. Monmouth, where 2 gate guards (MPs) in the middle of the night were playing quick draw to amuse themselves - one wound up gut-shooting the other.
Under the heading of completely idle curiosity, I wonder if this is the same sort of thing?
