7. You know, where I live they recently closed acess to the base

(makes it a hell of alot harder to get to the city now because its on the complete other side of the base) to anyone but military, dependents of military, retired military and in a few special cases civilians because they were afraid of something happening on or near the 9/11 anniversary and i cant help but wonder if its not themselves they need to worry more about.
