Lots of good points and good history in the article, but it's poorly organized and rambles on and on. The author was probably paid by the word. Bottom line is that security at this particular site was laughable. E.g.: The Plowshares activists did set off an alarm. But security officers ignored it, because hundreds of false alarms occurred at Y-12 every month. After cutting thru three fences and then spray painting the walls of a building, the protesters waited around and sang religious songs for a half an hour before they flagged down a passing rent-a-cop patrol car. The protesters were convicted of sabotage and sentenced to years in jail.
