Bomb Threat at WA Submarine Base

I was at work yesterday in the Puget Sound shipyard when we got an alert. It seems a man drove up to the gate then told the guard he had a bomb.

A 53-year-old man drove a black SUV to the main gate of Naval Base Kitsap Bangor on Thursday and told security that he was wearing one bomb and had another in his vehicle, prompting almost a day-long investigation into the incident by military and law enforcement personnel.

Quote:

A bomb squad was called to inspect the vehicle and packages inside. "The size of the package in the vehicle was estimated to potentially have a large blast radius," Washington State Patrol Lt. Robert Brazas said. People near Trident gate and within a 3,200-foot perimeter of the base were asked to take safety precautions.

Incidents like this reveal how security deals with bomb threats. Security was affected at other nearby installations.
