Why are some vehicles being inspected twice, once at the NIH campus perimeter and again before entering a garage?
The greatest potential for damage and loss of life is from a vehicle bomb in close proximity to a building, particularly in underground or adjacent garages. With no perimeter fence, it is conceivable for someone intent on doing harm, to walk onto campus and hide explosives and then plant them in a vehicle after it’s been inspected at the campus perimeter.
