Beats the crap out of a Robins AFB crack
security team back in late 2001 when security was supposedly at its post 9/11
height. One of my guys was briefing a C-130 crew out on the tarmac. He
de-planed so they could taxi out. He stepped off to the side of an active taxi
way. The plane left, he was left standing 1/2 mile from any structure for
nearly 2 hours, no cell, no nothing. We got a lot of mileage out of it,
though.
