This lax approach to INFOSEC is in stark contrast with USAF enforcement of NO LONE ZONES. Twice I had to bail out RE Works Teams who were testing ground Earths near (ie within 50-100 m) a No Lone Zone on a joint base 'in the Middle East' where jumpy USAF SF held our peoples on the ground at gun point in the sun for about an hour.
Similarly for those who worked at PSAB or Al-Udeid, you will be familiar with the anally-retentive (yet laughable) US approach to physical security - holding up RAF pers for a detailed document check, yet waving in the Jinglie trucks.
Based on what I saw of other US security f*ck-ups, there will be 2* or 3* heads rolling because of this.
