[MilCom] 2 Protesters climb on wing of F/A-22 Raptor at NAS Oceanaairshow

[Ken]

Of course all of this could be avoid if the military would just set up a 
"protected" protest area just as people enter the airshow, so that those 
against/protesting whatever could be seen & heard.  Notice I said 
"protected", so that they wouldn't be harmed by the multitudes waiting 
patiently to be security screened into the show area!!!!  Remember this is 
America and people do have the right to express their opinions, whether you 
or I like it or not.  I do agree that climbing on the airplane with a 
protest sign did violate the "rules" of the show and explusion, with a base 
entry barring letter, would be appropriate UNLESS of course they damaged the 
aircraft, than I would expect them to pay for the damage!!!

Personally, I've got to wonder how they got the sign into the base IF screen 
was taking place!!!
