#1 NASWI has physical obstacles in the roadways that restrict a vehicle's speed, like to mabe 5 mph. and those amazing little pop up tubes that can stop a car, flat.
and just for fun, sometimes the base security folks position portable light trees in such a way as to cause responsible drivers to incur thousands of dollars of damage to their cars when they run into unlit appendages from the units. (mrs. ret, is still pissed that she got a ticket plus a munched car from that. security moved the light tree soon after)

#2 Like issuing guns to guards, but making sure no one has ammo to actually use them. Too many security implementations are totally undermined by 'supervisors' who fear empowering their subordinates with the means and power to execute them cause someone might screw up.

#4 When you have a Navy base in the middle of the desert, weird stuff is bound to happen.

#6 Ship: great pic but sadly no. and not even the kind you find at the front end of a paved surface 1320 feet long. just the portable light tower with car eating tongue option

#7 a new theory as to motive: the perps were going to give the super dart a push start; to help save fuel

#8 Sad to say but i'ts probably a good thin that this idiot was able to expose the weakness before someone with a foul purpose exploited it.

#9 Ima going to sorta side with P2K on this one. It depends on what kind of security the checkpoint had, and what the ROE is.
