I would think you were joking, Rob, except that I find this case all too easy to believe...mostly for having been there myself a time or two. Ross Leo ... ...
Taking an airbase as an example, its easy for them to become complacent about an attack because so much money has been spent fortifying the place. Automation...
I disagree with you on a fundamental issue. The military views an air base as more than just a place where they operate from. They see perimeter security as...
