Regarding that photo of the main gate: There aren't any swing-down gates? What about those barriers that fly up if someone tries to fly past the gates? I've seen those things in action: they'll pop up in a fraction of a second and effectively cut the vehicle in two.
I don't understand how the Mercedes was able to keep going...

When I was stationed in San Diego (Almost 20 years ago), there were no actual gates. I also noticed many vehicles just slowing down long enough for their stickers and IDs to be visible. They didn’t stop unless told to by the guards.
Likely it was for traffic control. Cars could get bunched up pretty quickly when the base entrance is off of a busy street and a guard had to lift and lower the gates all of the time.

I would think anyone flying by the main gate would be turned into swiss cheese....WTF?
