Two thoughts:

1. The unmanned guard booth was probably an abandoned relic of a security plan that existed before HD cameras were available.

2. The utility probably kept it in place so that if there was ever a major event, they could man it to keep the media out.

Notice the lefty academic failed to cite a violation of any particular security rule - he and the willing and eager “reporter” simply dropped ominous vague hints. Surprised the “reporter” bothered to mention the actual distance from their deepest “penetration” to the reactor.

Because that’s where they’ll get the most bang for their buck... higher population density.

And if you think that liberals will change their mind about terrorism if it’s mostly their ilk that are the targets and victims,

you don’t understand the depth of depravity of their worldview.

Security rules for all nuclear plants are the same. This article is very misleading, the key words are “ visitors parking lot”!

Good point. My bet is the closed security building is there for use during refueling outages - to control the vehicle entry rate to prevent a gate rush in mass overwhelming response time. Bet when it is manned, the guards are the rent-a-cop kind and normally unarmed (absent an identified specific threat).

I’m sure the “reporter” has in-depth knowledge of the capabilities of the bad guys. Probably a weapons and explosives expert. Journalism schools are known for producing such experts in engineering, nuclear safety, and military science.

Make no mistake, I don’t believe the libtards will ever change their perverted worldview, as they are deranged and incapable of rational thought or acceptance of demonstrable, irrefutable facts. With that said, liberal politicians are the reason for the rise in terrorism across the globe - their actions (and inactions) have resulted in the terrorists gaining significant numbers of sophisticated weaponry and, more importantly, access to financial resources (via the Bank of Mosul and others) to fund additional attacks. So again... having these delusional liberal POS in office running interference against any efforts to destroy them is preferred, versus killing a few of them and risking the Demonic Party briefly siding with the right (temporarily only, like they did after 9-11) and agreeing to take military action against their attackers.

9/11/2001 was on a Tuesday,

and by Sunday at the latest, there were calls from the left for “restraint” and “not lashing out in anger”.

My bet is the terrorists are going for even softer targets like shopping malls, schools or hospitals where attacks would kill more people. If a deranged lone gunman or some nutball kids can kill dozens in a school attack imagine the horror of what a group of trained terrorists could do in a school. Remember the attack on a primary school in Russia by Islamic terrorists?

Obama has invited such attacks in the US by opening our borders, allowing political correctness to prevent a serious hunt for terrorist suspects and treating terrorists as petty criminals to be dealt with by law enforcement and the US courts. Someone needs to tell Obama that militant Islam declared war on the US more than a decade ago.

No lies. I was on-site.

there is a big difference between on site and being inside the plant.

Where exactly were you?

I know someone who works at Calvert Cliffs. Like the lady said, there is much more to their security than meets the eye and this person could not and did not reveal any of it.

But I wonder about the bigger planes built after the 727. Can the plant withstand an attack from a jumbo jet?
