Practical effect on US military personnel? After the earlier spring threatcon increase and now this I will be extra sure to make sure my car is squeaky clean when I report to drill in August. I was already skipping this month just because. So, 250 miles from home, 4 days away, travelling at odd hours, lock all my guns up at home. The only upside is lately things have been so busy they have been putting me up in the Hilton off base instead of the CBQ on base. So, guns come along. But in reality is now we will just search more of the people who are the targets.
