The extra security didn't come along until after 911.  I would guess that 
with the large middle eastern population in Dearborn homeland security has 
doubled up.

I got a visit from Home Land Security in Marinette, Wisconsin last summer 
while running NRSC measurements.  Had a hard time getting to the station 
because the roads were closed for construction.  Ended up pulling into the 
back lot from a side street.  Shortly I had 5 five Coast Guard guys asking 
what I was doing their parking lot.  They were friendly.  The studios moved 
and Home Land Security had rented the building.  I noted the large sign by 
the front drive on my way out.  Authorized Persons Only.

So to chase this bump in the space time continuum south of Flat Rock I need 
a spectrum analyzer, Laptop, field meter, Geiger counter, magnetic compass, 
electronic compass, water witching stick from a elm tree, night vision 
goggles, maps, GPS and Einstein's book on relativity.  I may need a bigger 
truck.
