Now this doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy at all. If these protesters can breach a fence this easily then why are "rent a cops" still allowed to protect this facility?
Why isn't the military tasked to protect our nukes?
"Officials said the facility was shut down on Wednesday at least until next week after three activists cut through perimeter fences to reach the outer wall of a building where highly enriched uranium, a key nuclear bomb component, is stored."

So, if I go to my local bank tonight at midnight and stand in the parking lot.....I got about as close to the money in the vault as they got to the enriched uranium.
Wow, it's sounds so easy from there.
I mean, it's embarassing on some level but I have a sneaking suspicion that once you get inside the building the stuff is just sitting around on carts ready to be wheeled away.

Can you imagine the PR that would have followed had the nun and her group been shot and killed as the nuclear site security snipers are trained to do? And, don't think for a minute that the elderly nun didn't anticipate becoming a martyr for her cause.
Honestly, this is much ado about very little. It is clear the OP has no insight into the high level training and security clearance undergone by those carrying weapons to protect our nuclear facilities. Rent-a-cops they are not.
Frankly, if the OP is worried about this nation's security, he should question this administration's policies (Operation Fast & Furious, Open Borders, Pre-emptive war, sky-rocketing national debt) and leaks which appeared to be coming from the White House.

I've been on a number of nuclear sites, and interacted with the "security snipers." To call them rent-a-cops is abit harsh, but they are not the highly trained snipers you make them out to be, either. It's just as clear that you have no insight into it' either.

Nice try at deflection, though.
They used to be the most highly trained. Perhaps things have changed in the past 15 years.
GS45 again. You remember them, right? They provide the security for the London Olympics which Romney complained about, and then backtracked. They also provided security in Salt Lake City for those games and were involved in a pay off scandal.
But, the owner is a good supporter of Romney, so I expect we could see them getting more contracts if Mitt wins the White House. It's called "privatization," a euphemism for funneling tax dollars to corporate buddies.

Cheney had Haliburton, Obama's got Solyndra, Romney's gotta have his pets too.
