I think there's some truth in the old joke -- thank goodness the US system is so disorganized; it would be a frightening thing if were organized. One thing the Americans did get right was pluricentric power. Even their three letter agencies are constantly tripping each other up. And periodically providing oversight.
Really, if you go photographing near a military installation in any country you may bring the ire of the authorities down on you. "National security" gets overreactions everywhere. I wouldn't be too surprised if the RCMP showed up at my door here in Canada if I did a stunt like he's accused with the drone. Though I would expect to go free, in the end, if I actually complied with the laws.

I think they expected the public to wander in though, because they had signs on the highway for the (very nice) museum located inside the base. At another Canadian military base I did get carded at the gate, and told to head directly to the museum.
