How did he even get on the base? Whenever I visited my son, I had to fill out a form. My purse was searched, and my car was checked out. Have they relaxed at the gates in the last couple of years?

Do you mean the coincidence between these last two attempts and the recent talk from the administration about focusing on "home -grown" terrorism?

'Lilly whites" is spookdom speak for  sleepers or like Faisal Shehzad was a "Lilly White". Basically someone who was born or raised here in American who would not raise suspicion. Or an American Citizen who could move freely and would not appear on anyones radar, someone with a clean background.

There is no such thing as "Lilly Whites"! That is a RACIST derogatory phrase no less obscene than "******"!
Got it?

Now reload and try again.

Ummm, PG, if you'll back up a notch and read the guy's explanation, you'll see that "lilly white" isn't a reference to the color of a person's skin, but to the content of a "Rap Sheet", if I understand it correctly.  We get enough defensiveness and jumping to conclusions from the moonbats; let's try to remember that we're smarter than they are, and have the wisdom to be patient until all the facts are in, m'kay? :cheers1:

Point taken, point learned.
I just have a strong affirmation against catch phrases that are used and ACCEPTED, to denigrate white people.

You only become a "victim" if you allow stupid shit to outrage or bother you.

It's actually really easy..observe...




Civilian gate guard: ID please.


Bomber disguised as soldier: (pats pockets) oh crap...I left it in my computer when I went to lunch...I'm sorry man!


Civilian gate guard: let me see your drivers license


Bomber disguised as soldier: Sure thing here you go!


Civilian gate guard: (looks at DL front and back for about 2 seconds) Have a nice day.




And just like that he's on post and free to his bidding.

When I was stationed down at Gordon, MPs ran the gates.

The freaking YEAR following 9/11 on Fort Meade we had our vehicle tossed and sniffed while some kid in a humvee turret covered our car with a Ma Deuce every single time we came on base. Apparantly things have relaxed a tad?

It's all run by Wackenhut or one of the other security firms now.  Hell one of these idiots let my wife onto Ft. Myer one morning even though she showed the guard my daughters ID.

Even the overseas posts are all sporting civilian gate guards.

All I'll say is that a couple years ago when I was still with The Old Guard...I left my wallet in my pants at Ft. Myer...and managed to talk my way onto post down at Ft. Belvoir where I lived...and repeated the same process in reverse the next morning when I went in for PT.

How am I a racist for using the term " Lilly whites"? Look at my picture uhm do I look like I hate white people? The term is a reference term first adopted by Arab intelligence types. Then adopted by the U.S. spook world to describe people hiding in plain sight.  I am sorry it offends you but it is a accurate non racist term used to identify sleepers and traitors among us. Is it right? Not for me to say but it is the term used.
