Give me a break. Has anyone been shot attempting to greet the
president? The answer is no, you might get arrested but your not going
to get shot for trying to get close to him. Presidents are at more risk
of getting shot then people approaching him. You most certainly will get
a gun pointed at you but it won't be fired

The leadership here at TSTC has been briefed long ago to warn students
about crossing boundaries such as dark-suited personel, closed gates
that are normally opened, etc. with the possibility that lethal force
could absolutely be used if necessary.
Now, that's what I heard. Things one hears at a college campus about
matters like this are not to always be trusted, but it sounds
reasonable to me.
A few semesters ago some A&P students hopped the normally-open gate
going to the hangar during a Bush arrival or departure, worried about
missing lab. They were very quickly apprehended and detained,
questioned for many hours and ultimately put on a terrorist watch
list.
