They wave one into the check area long before one is close enough to verify dress.

...but they can see that red hair coming from way off.

I was just up there last Friday ... I saw the Commissionaire wave the car in in front of me, so I pulled in behind. While I was waiting, another car drove right past, so I asked about the ID checks and I was told you only neede to stop if you were waved over...so it must be you Vern!

"The 100% ID check on the base came into effect in August or September 2008 and has been in place since then."


It's been a very long time since I drove into Borden, but the discussion reminds me of a scene from one of my favorite movies, "12 O'clock High". If interested, it's around the 1:10 minute mark:

"Goring could have been in that car!"

110 in a 50 km zone.....does this not qualify for the street racing charges where they lose the car, etc. on speeds 50km over ?

It would, but that is under provincial legislation.  It will be taken as facts in issue with the Dangerous Driving which is criminal.  Sounds like all the article is missing is the innocuous comment "known to the police"

This is very annoying to me. What is the point of having any kind of screening process at the gate if the gate is unable to stop undesirables from gaining entry anyhow? Either open the Bases or put up proper defenses such as quick-deploy concrete barriers or serpentine Texas barriers etc. I am happy to live in a safe and free and open country, but ineffective security is simply a waste of money. Had this been a true threat instead of just some local yahoo, the guy could have done his damage before the gate guards were able to notify the MPs in a timely manner and effect an intervention.

It keeps the harmless people out at least.

Kind of like "Gun Control".
