<p>Just wondering, have they announced any changes to security procedures as a result of the Fort Dix incident? While nothing actually happened, I wonder if the Academy feels that their current procedures are adequate to handle a similar situation.</p>
<p>From an email:</p>
<p>**If you look at the NJ complaint line 17, youll see that the terrorists had considered hitting Dover AFB, but decided the security was too tighttheir plan was to use machine guns.</p>
<p>So, when youre considering griping about having your vehicle searched at the gate or having to wear your proxy card everywhere you go, remember that we need to demonstrate that were a hard target and encourage the bad guys to go elsewhere. It worked at Dover **</p>
<p>andyJ,
Was the clip you posted from an email sent to USAFA personnel/cadets?</p>
<p>I do hope ALL Academy persons at ALL academies take this "threat"/incident seriously. An academy can be considered a "softer" target as there is less security here than at other military installations. And, hopefully, strapping young cadets, male or female, will be somewhat vigilant to keep one eye peeled left or right over their shoulder when they think they are ten feet tall and bullet-proof! Remember - situational awareness.</p>
<p>it wasn't usafa wide because i my squad never received it. the academy takes security seriously, and have drills regarding it</p>
<p>i'd hope so.. but i'm sure as long as everybody does their jobs, it'll all be okay. but nothing is guaranteed</p>
<p>I received an e-mail from my AMT this morning about the incident with the article. Keep in mind that to get on base here, you only need a driver's license. But, to get into the cadet area you need mil ID to get by the ECPs with their nice M-16s. But our gym and athletic areas are not closed to the public.</p>
<p>So, cadets are the security if anyone gets by the ECPs, hence the proxy badges.</p>
<p>makes you wish they didn't mess with those rifles in your rooms.</p>
