Running the gate at Fort Sam Houston

This was last night. Not much play from the MSM, but here you go:

According to Military Officials, the man that drove through the gate at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio was a Saudi National.

Military officials say explosive materials were reportedly found in his car.

The unidentified man was taken into custody and officials are still trying to determine his motive.


What ever could the motivation be?


Military officials are not calling this an attempted terrorist attack.

:rolleyes:

On his way to a fireworks show?

So much for the multi million dollar set of tire spikes and bollards, that are 200 meters past the guard shack, that are meant to prevent that at the touch of a button.

Geeez.

I live 15 miles east of San Antonio and have regular meetings at JBSA. Most of the times the security forces at the gates couldn't tell you if I showed them my CAC/retiree ID or a library card. I'm shocked they caught this individual.

I regularly travel to Fort Hood as well and the contrast between there and Fort Sam could not be more stark. Fort Hood regularly spot checks cars and individuals.

Nothing to see here people. Move along, these are not the droids you are looking for.
