The government likes to put facilities like that away from populated areas and where they can get land fairly cheap. I'm not sure getting "selected" for such an honor is particularly good news. Facilities like that are fairly secure, but they only have to screw up once.

I guess that's why we're blessed(?) by the government to have the Pine Bluff (Chemical) Arsenal facility too. As for a tight level security at these facilities, I'm not sure about that. A couple of months ago they found an abandoned car next to one of the perimeter gates of the PB Arsenal but in their subsequent search couldn't locate the occupants. Apparently someone at the arsenal should have seen the vehicle approach the gate via closed circuit security camera that night, but the vehicle wasn't noticed until the following morning. I never heard on the news whether they found the vehicle owner or whether the incident just got swept under the news rug. I think it happened during a weekend.

It sounds like you are blessed. Hopefully that doesn't comport with the Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times".
