More security at the gate?

It took us about 30 minutes to get through the gate this morning, it normally takes less than 5. In addition to the normal checking IDs and  just peeking into vehicles to see who's in them, they were shining their flashlights into the vehicles and thoroughly looking around and having the back windows rolled down so they could look in those as well. I completely understand why, I'm just curious if anyone else experiences a change in the security measures at the gate today.

Our gates were no different than usual. Then again, they are always doing more security stuff over here anyhow.

A lot of the bases are tightening security because of what happend at Fort Hood. Until they are 100% sure this was not part of a terrorist attack they are tightening down. At least thats what I was told would be happening at most of the bases.

VP Joe Biden is here at Ft. Lewis today for the funerals of seven soldiers KIA. 

I'm actually dismayed at the lack of tightened security since Ft. Hood.  I would expect a lot longer time at the gate and would even welcome it, but nope, not that I can tell.
