"General Dynamics is explicitly called out as high-risk: "Certain codes will automatically trigger requests — the Marriott Friends and Family and General Dynamics codes are notorious for being checked." This is one of the only non-employee codes specifically named in community lore as routinely verified on Fishbowl. Additionally, defense contractors using government-adjacent rates near military hubs like Hampton VA and Portsmouth were reported as frequently asked for ID. The combination of being specifically named as "notorious for being checked" elevates G2D to High risk."
