24. Only if they were dumb enough to

attempt to storm a secret military installation. The security forces don't care if they're American citizens. Intruder are intruders, no matter if they're Americans, Australians, or Martians. If they stay on their side of the fence, that's cool, But the first time someone crosses the fence and ignores warnings to stop, the security forces CAN and probably WILL use lethal force and would be perfectly justified in doing so. As I said, the Air Force announced that storming Area 51 was a "Bad Idea".

Security forces are almost always deadly serious when on duty. They can't afford to be otherwise. Anyone who thinks they can play around with them or make threats against whatever they're guarding (real or joking), is in for a rude shock, no matter who you are.
