Thank you Steve, much appreciated! And totally agreed on Peter's book! As far as I know the inner base is still secured by Air Force police. The "camos" only secure the outer perimeter. However, I doubt all of them commute on the bus from Alamo etc. Some very likely fly in on the Janets. That means they are cleared inside the base, but certainly not inside individual hangars. That means Air Force police likely has jurisdiction over the camos. The Deadly Force bit disappeared some time in the 2000's when the signs were replaced. It is present in a 2000 photo I have but gone in a 2011 photo. But folks, make no mistake: they will, and are authorized to, do whatever it takes to stop an intruder. A few years ago a guy was shot dead when he breached the perimeter on the other side of the NTTR, near Mercury. I don't think they ever figured out what his motives were.
