I would have done the same. Good job keeping your cool. No point in letting people know an unattended gun is in the parking lot.

I would have asked them the policy.
"Good morning. I noticed that the building is not posted as a gun/weapons free zone, but that you have detection set up. I'd like to know the policy so that I don't mistakenly violate it".

this sounds like a story where you just wanted to tell someone you were carrying a gun

@Brooklyn - yes, they really told me that I could come back in through the loading dock. Granted, I did say that it was my tape measure and a flashlight but yes I thought it was odd. Top notch security.
@Reico86 - without naming names it is a business that deals with the various stock markets. Not altogether uncommon, I have run into this at other places. Employees badge through a gate and visitors go through the detector.

Like hell I'm walking that far over an EDC folder. Unless it was something really special or expensive, that's what outdoor planters are for.
Find large pot, bury knife, retrieve on exit.
I've done this a few times and haven't lost a blade yet.

It was not an expensive blade(Buck 110 clone) but one I've had for a long time. Either way, it gave me a break from the M.I.L., who was already on my last nerve. Interesting idea planting a knife tree and I might consider that in some future situation but on the Mall around all the heavily-surveilled Federal buildings, I would not want to be seen burying anything or appearing in any way out of the ordinary. Perhaps I need a larger hat size for my tin foil toupee'?
I think you did the discreet and sensible thing. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
