So I Went to Ft. Carson.....

On Wednesday I went to Ft. Carson to pick up a milsurp trailer I won in an internet auction.

Not being a military person, the first line I entered was the wrong one, soldier said to enter line-3, since line-2 was going to be closed off.

At about that time, the other cars in line-2 were being directed backwards to enter lines-3,4.

Then a Ft. Carson police car pulls up, blocking the one remaining vehicle in line-2.

At this point, the MP removes the passenger from this vehicle, places her in handcuffs, sits her in the squad car. Other soldier tells the driver if she ever tries to enter the base in the future, she will be arrested for trespassing.

So....is that a common occurrence? Does base security run checks looking for warrants, etc., or are there other things that will get you bounced at the gate?

Passenger may have been previously banned from the post for any number of reasons. Military ID card scan will often alert the guard if this is the case.
Driver was possibly warned for being an accomplice.
Just a theory based on past experience.

Not a normal occurrence. As davsel said, they probably already knew about her.

Basically: no drugs, guns, weapons (pocket knives are ok) and a person should be fine.

Sounds like typical government/military procedure. At least the parts about long lines, people in the wrong lane, and shuffling vehicles from one lane to the other. You know, your usual cluster duck.

Scan goes directly to NCIC...

Maybe she was upset about the nude photographs passed around on the interwebz.

Seems to be a headliner for the MSM lately...

When you get a visitor pass (in the small building next to the museum) I'm pretty sure they run a background check. I'm not sure how extensive it is, but I'd guess they at least check for warrants.

They run at least a NICS (gun buy) check. I work for Loomis and we need to get on post. We all had to get contractor badges. (I go to the 10th Group area.......). I can go to NORAD with just a work ID, Carson wants a contractor badge, Pete Field wants an AIR FORCE badge, it's stupid. We have guys with 7-8 ID's.

That may be, she was wearing skin-tight spandex, and could have passed for a pole-dancer in a bad section of town....
