The U.S. military said security stopped a sailor who had bomb-making materials in his vehicle at a naval base near San Diego, Calif. The North Island Naval Air Station spokesperson Kevin Dixon said security forces stopped the sailor’s vehicle at the gate at 9 a.m. at the request of Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS).

Investigators at the scene looked throughout the sailor’s white pickup truck and started to collect evidence, also using a robotic device to collect material. Dixon also said the bomb-making materials the sailor had in his vehicle were not assembled into an explosive device, the NBC affiliate reported.

Residents at the naval base were issued the following advisory: "The main gate at NASNI is closed until further notice, use alternate routes to enter via the Ocean gate or 01st / Alameda. from 9:30 a.m,” according to the NBC affiliate. A source told KNSD that all nonessential personnel were asked to leave the naval base, but Dixon added that people at the main gate were asked to leave the area.

This comes as Navy spokesperson Brian O’Rourke said that the main gate at the base Third Street and the Fourth Street gate reopened for traffic Tuesday afternoon. According to The Associated Press, the Naval Air Station North Island is one of the eight military installations that make up Naval Base Coronado. NCIS said the sailor is currently in police custody, adding that it won’t be releasing any new information about him or the charges he’s facing, the NBC affiliate noted.

FOX and their ilk, social media algorithms + Stochastic terrorism

Stochastic Terrorism-While the exact definition has morphed over time, it has commonly come to refer to a concept whereby consistently demonizing or dehumanizing a targeted group or individual results in violence that is statistically likely, but cannot be easily accurately predicted.

5. Someone probably told security the sailor might be planning something.

Of course, when I was working shipyard projects, technically I might have been transporting bomb making materials, between the cleaning gear, test equipment, cable and foundation fabrication materials, and my tool bag as I went back and forth on base.

Someone tipped them off. Otherwise, he would only have been caught because he got pinged for a random gate search and/or they had the dogs out and he was alerted on.
