SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. (AP) -- Air Force officials say an airman armed with a pistol has barricaded himself in a building at a Colorado Air Force base that controls all GPS satellites, but operations haven't been disrupted.
Schriever (SHREE'-ver) Air Force Base spokeswoman Jennifer Thibault (THEE'-balt) says the building was evacuated after the standoff began Monday. She says no shots were fired and no one was injured.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe in a movie a guy could get into the quansit hut that contained all the controls to the GPS Satellites, or maybe even all the nukes.
In real life? Not so much.

Here’s hoping service continues undisrupted. Can you imagine what would happen to flight if he decided to go a little more crazy?

You’d think that the news networks would be covering this. Haven’t seen anything on Fox yet.

from the article:
The airman is in a building where personnel prepare for deployments, Thibault said.
Control rooms for GPS and other military satellites are in a heavily protected inner compound surrounded by fences and staffed with armed guards.
