Wow. Just wow. Biggest morons I think I have ever seen in action. Those Marine guards would have killed them in a heartbeat.
Years ago, like 20-some odd, I was working on the EA-4B Airborne Command Post aircraft. These are the four 747's that rotate so that one is in the air over the Pres no matter where he is. We were doing some re-fitting on them, so they came into Paine Field. Complete with Marine guards with M-16's.
Out manager gathered us all together for a little "come to Jesus" meeting, realizing that many on his team somewhat prided themselves as pranksters and smart a$$es. He laid down the law. "Not here; no way no how. Those guards are chosen SPECIFICALLY for their lack of a sense of humor. Those M-16's are loaded. Don't ***** with them..." We got the message; loud and clear.
