Daughter just sent me an email that Pax River is on lockdown. An unauthorized vehicle, a white Durango, came thru w/o proper credentials, lockdown will continue until the vehicle and driver are found.

The So MD post said only gates 2 and 3 are closed. Guess the feds won't get their two hour lunch today.

UPDATE 10:55 AM - Patrick Gordon, Public Information Officer for NAS Patuxent River, has confirmed the incident our sources reported. The unauthorized vehicle is not suspected to have entered NAS Patuxent River with malicious intent. Rather, security believes this was simply a case of the driver absent-mindedly forgetting to show proper identification. Security is still searching for the vehicle at this time. Currently, Gates 2 and 3 are closed while Gate 1 is open only to outbound traffic. Indidivuals wanting to leave the NAS Patuxent River premises should expect delays due to this developing situation.

Ummmmm.... so you are telling me that this person got past not 1 but, 2 security persons and also was able to get past the barricades that they installed?
Looks like they can look forward to 1 or 2 weeks of inconvenience on the entire base while their security forces conduct "training."

Uh...isn't that what security is there for? To make sure you show proper ID or you don't get to come in.

She drives a white Durango.
Actually, a friend of mine does. She's not here today, so it wasn't her.

Pick up wedding dress, pick up moonshine, drop ring off to be soldered, and probably something else that I'm forgetting.

I would have had it done in way less than an hour, but now it will not get done during lunch.
Eh. There's always after all of my appointments this evening.
Hopefully, you don't need to turn left to go to a grocery store.

Umm..."forgetting to show identification"? Not saying there is malicious intent here but I find it hard to believe that someone with business on base would "forget" to show ID. That's a bit of a stretch for me. Also, really makes you feel safe knowing that this person was able to not only get past the gate but has as of now still not been found...

Some bases in Washington metro area are beginning to use CAC card scanners that lift the gates and allow you to enter. So an actual gate guard does not need to physically see your CAC ID. So now there's one guy for two or three lanes of traffic coming onto base. IMO, in such a highly visible and important area, they should be getting tougher with base security not easier. One security guard a gate makes for a much softer target.

You can bet that's the first thing they'll all learn during the soon-to-be-scheduled sentry REtraining.
