Sure, but you show it to management/sponsor. You don't show it to the

having you detained in their office).

Penetration Testing is all about showing flaws, but to the sponsor, not
the folks who commit the violations. It's the responsibility of the
sponsors to take action in a way they see fit.

Discretion is paramount in these engagements. You just don't leave stuff
behind.

I'm agree with Frank...in a physical security test, discretion is very
important..then, what about using the so called "password pen"?

Watch this:

With this pen you can write on any surface with invisible to the naked eye
ink; when you point an UV light on the area you wrote, your tag will
appear.
Imho discreet and effective.
