  1. The problem now is they close gates, and bring dogs in to search US! We have CAC cards that are scanned that prove who we are, and decals on our vehicles. Now there are miles, and miles of unsecure border that anybody can just use a GPS and walk anywhere on base they want to go and walk back off. The employees are more worried about being harassed by officers than any terrorist. Why mess with us when most of the officers even know us by sight, because we shake hands with them every day when we hand them our CAC card. They even bring in dope dogs for crying out loud. are terrorist going to bring dope in through the main gate to terrorize us with. No employee is worried about Hadji coming on base. They are worried about being harassed by security officers. It's blowing smoke up our butts thinking we are that stupid I guess.
