Beginning Monday, visitors to Dover Air Force Base have been seeing a new level of security: airmen going about everyday jobs carrying sidearms.
The policy itself isn't new, but its implementation is a direct result of attacks on military personnel by terrorist sympathizers or individuals with mental health issues, said Lt. Col. Dana G. Metzger, commander of the 436th Security Forces Squadron.

The 1st Amendment does...might as well throw in the 2nd as well. :P
Well this sounds like an excellent idea.
