I bet if they unzip the dog's fur, jack bauer will be inside!

Perhaps he was trained at the truck driving school in Missouri that the Feds investigated recently.

IMHO, we were being tested, and they lost. Everyone in this area has been watching for something like this for a long time!

Ordinary lawn feed would make the dog alert – a pretty good test. They don’t have to be any where near a bomb.

The TV station reporting it is in Hartford. The base is in Groton. If there was a sub base in Hartford, I'd be worried.

Well, if he'd been on a cycle, the MSM would surely state that he wasn't wearing helmet!

Thanks for the heads up Cal!

Racial profiling by a dog? Well, I suppose your average American mutt is more intelligent than your average ACLU shyster.

[umgud]

I've gotta be sure and watch NCIS tonite.

I always assumed an attack at the Sub Base would come from the water. Maybe the Coasties in New London scared them off.

[Crawdad]

Racial profiling by a dog? I see you've never lived in Boston.

[blam]

Went to sub school there in the summer of '61.

"IMHO, we were being tested....."

Agree completely. I also think that all of these aircraft that "accidentally" fly into unauthorized space are "testing."

[Doohickey]

I'd noticed during my tours there (and a couple of unfortunate port calls) that the Lower Base security boats were Johnny-on-the-Spot.

I don't know what this guy was thinking. No way he was getting on the Lower Base without lead poisoning and there's really not much on the Upper Base worth blowing up (unless you happened to be a student).

[Bottom_Gun]

He stands out at the corner of RT 12, and Crystal lake Rd now. the last couple of weeks he's been over at Monument square in New London by the Bus station, and banks street.

[SmithL]

and there's really not much on the Upper Base worth blowing up (unless you happened to be a student)

Ahem, I didn't do it, and you can't prove a thing.

[Bottom_Gun]

They can't get in that way now, shortly after 9/11, the entire lower base water access was surounded by huge floatsthat look like a string of suasages about 20 feet high floating in the water. that and security forces on the river with M-60s mounted, loaded and manned.

That link is dead. What was it?
