It seems as though at this point there is little need for security to
maintain control of the ID, again which could possibly leave it open to

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.
