anyone remember back in the early 90s when anyone could enter a Navy base based on the fact that you just want to see the 'cool' ships?

I was shocked at this.

You can still get on base very easily. Mohammed Atta made 3 or 4 trips on base on the base tour bus. Pictures of him at the base were all over local TV right after 911.

They used to be especially nice to look at at Christmas time, same with the admirals housing area.
