(Reuters) - A man and a woman in a vehicle carrying weapons and military-style gear were detained on Monday for attempting to gain unauthorized access to a key military base in Florida, authorities said.

U.S.

The suspects were stopped at a gate outside MacDill Air Force Base near Tampa and taken into custody after they were unable to show proper identification to enter the base, said Air Force spokeswoman Katherine Holt.

No explosives were found, said Holt, who added that she could not identify the suspects.

Saw a short snippet of this earlier.
Dry run? Probing? Kooks?

Looks like we will have to wait for awhile in order to get the details.

Dry run? Probing? Kooks?

I pray it is kooks!

"Still waiting! "

I can get you the scoop right now so you don't have to wait. "There is no terrorist connection".

... wait for it.... it's coming

But I mostly believe it isn’t! :=(

I’m in no hurry, let them do a thorough investigation.

[historyrepeatz]

I’m surprised the guards stopped them.. Actually, under Obama, I’m surprised there were any guards.

[VAFreedom]

wait, what? military style gear??!?!?!? since this is MSM, i’m guessing that they were caught wearing doc martens boots, and probably camo cargo pants?

About a month ago, some guy trying to get onto the same base was shot and killed.

What’s the odds that his first name starts with an “M”?

[MinuteGal]

A man and a woman with a Bonnie and Clyde MO don't sound too Amish....er, well you know what I mean.

Hmmm... exactly, Michael or Mitchell...damn Christians...:=)

[stuartcr]

You must not live near any bases.

Amish. Definitely Amish.

Good thing they didn’t get in. We all learned a while back that our protectors cannot protect themselves. The massacre at FT Hood still has upset.

Was the woman wearing a burkha? Let's face it, local strip-joints could provide a better tip-off to terrorists if patrons were screened prior to shaving body hair and worshipping their deathgod.

"Pull up the shirt, buddy." "Oh, no chest hair, here's a cartoon of Allah with a bomb on his head." "Doesn't that just piss you off?" "Care for some pig rinds?"

Kooks? You mean M..Oh, never mind.
