I always found it interesting that, other than the fight line, the base was -- essentially -- "open."
You've got F-111's, with tactical nukes, a thousand yards away, but anyone could walk darned near anywhere.

It was the same when I worked at Bergstrom back in the 80's. If you had the card on your windshield you went right on in. Never once did they stop me and look in my van.
I would have thought the security would have been a little tighter, even back then.
