The bottom line is that it's the responsibility of game management to insure the safety of the officials. If there was a facility where that was a known problem, then I would decline assignments there.
For the vast majority if the high schools in our area it simply isn't an issue - some type of a secure location, albeit not always a locker room at some of the smaller ones, is provided for the officials.
Middle schools are another issue - I haven't been to one yet that has a room set aside for the officials. At these I go dressed, including jacket. The only thing in my jacket pockets are my cell phone and car keys.
