Scare Tactics

Two employees with the same last name were part of the reason behind Friday's security scare at a NASA research center in Ohio.

The Glenn Research Center was locked down for an hour after an employee received a phone call leading him to believe a gunman was on campus.

It turned out that the phone call was part of a test of emergency management systems at another NASA center... [More]
See, if only we had things like "terror watch lists" to keep people from buying guns, stuff like this could never happen, right?

But the good thing is, not only was John Glenn a big citizen disarmament supporter, but his namesake facility is a "gun free zone"--so it's a guaranteed sure thing the scare tactic security scenario could never happen!

Hey, I wonder if they'll keep doing these "safety drills" if an employee or contractor ever reports resulting panic attacks and/or chest pains...?   Seems like a good CUM ULLA SELLA IN PUGNO TABERNA opportunity to maybe contact OSHA and see what they think--maybe sit back and enjoy watching one group of bureaucratic parasites duke it out with another...

The Veterans Administration hospital here is a gun-free zone. I was going to donate two big boxes of books to their lending library when I saw the sign at the top of the driveway, so I turned around and left. I would have been in violation of federal law.
As would any terrorist, or outraged person whose vet father or mother died in agony as a result of V.A. malpractice and was there for some payback. But it would be like "Sign? What sign?"
