Looking Back – 11-13-09 – Security Fencing

Nearly every morning I start my computer time by looking at information from Google about what happened in my blog in the previous 24 hours. Google, and blogspot.com is a Google service, provides interesting pieces of analytical data about my blog readership. One item of particular interest is the top ten blog posts each day. As you would expect, most of those posts were from the last couple of days, but with 16 years of publishing this blog, every once-in-a-while, a blog post from ancient history rises into that list. 

Today, a blog post from November 13th, 2009, made the list. It takes a news story about protests at a naval nuclear weapons storge site and uses it as a launch pad about security fences. The news story link is no longer working, but the discussion is still pertinent almost 15 years later. Interestingly, for this blog, a series of reader comments lead to two more blog posts expanding on the topic. The last post leaves with a toss off comment that I am still happy with today. In talking about why security is getting easier, I make the comment that: “All we have to do is fob off the hard part to those trained and experienced to handle that chore.”
