Bicycle Terror Threat...Seriously?!

I probably should give this more credence, but sometimes our Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection guys on base really outdo themselves. I arrived at the office the other day to see the bike rack outside the building taped off with signs saying it couldn't be used anymore because it posed a terror threat being that close to the building. And they weren't kidding - the next day it was removed and the lag bolts cut down flush to the sidewalk. There's another rack which is the requisite 25 yard distance from the building, so it's not that big a deal, but just really seems silly. It's not like we're in Baghdad - it's freaking California! I may just carry the bike in the building and up the stairs for a while just to make the point of how ridiculous I find it.
