Basically, every three or four years, some (usually drunken) evil genius would decide they wanted to 'check out' a missile silo, out of curiosity, to see what their tax money was buying, or whatever. Not one made it to the perimeter fence before security teams came in on helos, locked and loaded, and very serious.

To say they had an unpleasant three day hangover is putting it nicely.

They were apparently subjected to some intense questioning while background checks were run and returned with a story that ended in words to the effect of 'don't f**k around with those sites'.

Which, as I understand it, was good enough to dissuade those who heard about it until the story faded in the collective consciousness of the institution, at which point another brilliant student of military hardware would emerge and the general process was repeated.

Ever try out-swimming a fish? The fish can outpace the inrush current.

Yellow buoys by color code indicate a hidden danger-—stay away. This added emphasis with a distance to safe zone in writing. Navigation charts will give more detail of the nature of the hazard for a specific location.

He may not be properly qualified as a diver, if he is this ignorant of warning signals.
