After 9-11 security was beefed up around every military installation around the world to thwart any terrorist that might attempt to gain access; well it would seem that this homeless person has outsmarted them by simply using the ' turned over garbage can' trick - Al-Qaeda is currently buying up all the 60 gallon wheeled cans from Lowes as we speak..
According to the Tampa Bay Times a homeless woman charged with sneaking onto MacDill Air Force Base four times since October has been arrested in Colorado on a federal warrant and returned to Tampa, court records show.
The arrest comes after her recent admission that she used turned over garbage cans to sneak onto MacDill.
Jensen's ability to sneak onto MacDill, one of the nation's most important military installations, caused embarrassment for the base and led U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson to seek a briefing on security there. MacDill is home to the headquarters of two of the military's premier combat commands, U.S. Special Operations Command and Central Command.
Bay News9 points out, Jensen, 51, has developed a 'unique set of skills' when it comes to breaking through post-Sept. 11 government security.
Jensen, court records show, was first discovered at MacDill on Oct. 1, when she was found on a boat at MacDill's marina. She jumped in the water and swam away, records said, when confronted but was later found near a base restaurant. She was given a trespass warning.
But Jensen was discovered on the base three more times — Nov. 18, Dec. 17 and Jan. 4 — and received additional warnings. In the November incident, court records said, Jensen demonstrated to base security officers how she got onto the base by turning a trash can upside down and climbing over a wall.
In the last incident, records show, she told officers that "for about eight days she had been living inside a boat that was on a trailer parked in the base's family Camp area," the affidavit says.
Jensen has a history of trying to enter military installations. In August 2012, she pleaded guilty to a trespass charge after she was accused of illegally entering Fort Myer in Virginia. She was sentenced to time served.
