Do Not Cross The Red Line!

Restricted areas around military flight lines are marked by a red line (seen above).  As the painted sign says, security forces are authorized to use lethal force if they see someone crossing the red line.  Off to the left of the sign is the controlled entry point, marked by a thick white line.  I got this shot while doing a media event with the Hawai‘i Air National Guard's 199th Fighter Squadron at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.

Deadly force authorized...I guess they mean business!

I walked through the controlled entry points. Though I did not see any visible security forces, I wasn't about to find out about crossing the red line.
