Well said!



But are you referring to potential terrorists or steelhead jigs?

I enter a secure facility all the time. I KNOW how I am supposed to be treated. I also know there are certain areas you don't take pictures in and how NOT to behave.--AuntyM

It sounds like Ian Spiers could learn a thing or two from you.

You've mentioned the Caveman's Naval career and his work as a military contractor --I imagine that the background check(s) he's gone through allow him to go places on Naval facilities that the average John Q. Public couldn't go to--much less photograph.

If the M.P's checking identification, clearance and asking vistitors to state their purpose for being at those facilties helps keep the Caveman, you, your family and friends on or around those facilities safe--I think we can all agree that's a GOOD thing.

As important as Naval installations are, why are they any more of a potential target to terrorists than a major water intersection in a large metropalitan area?
