[Who dat?]

One thing I do know is that security at NASA uses contracted (rent a cop) security.

I don't know what they do now, but my dad took me into JSC one night (they were preparing for the re-entry of one of the Apollo missions) and they had what appeared to be Air Force guards at the gates. Armed too - and they were stopping cars and checking ID. That was quite a while back though.

I distinctly remember it because even though I was just a kid we'd gone in and out of Army and Air Force bases for years and never stopped at the gate unless we needed directions. I remember thinking NASA must be a pretty important place - more important than an AF base, anyway.

Who Dat:

I need to clarify my statement (this is a really tough time for me, and everyone, right now)

NASA uses contract security...along w military law enforcement and NASA police (govt employees). There are various security elements around KSC.

I apologize if the previous statement threw anyone off.
