1 "...unauthorized civilian burst through the perimeter of MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa around 1pm on Saturday.

Side note:
Some update stories list a collection of MacDill threats and bombs planted in the last year.

Maybe stop detaining and shoot a few violent ones might curb some future problems?

4 British police arrest five men at US air base in major incident

FAIRFORD, England, Sept 27 (Reuters) - British police arrested five men near a US air base on suspicion of explosive and terrorism offences on Sunday after a tip-off that three vans had been heading to the military airfield which has been used to strike Iran.

Counter ‌terrorism detectives leading the investigation said police had received a call about three suspicious vehicles which appeared to be travelling towards RAF Fairford in the west of England in the early hours of Sunday.

Five men were arrested by armed officers and later held on suspicion of preparation of a terrorist act. Police said they believed the incident was now contained.

"We are in the early stages of an investigation, and five men remain in custody," Counter Terrorism Policing Senior National Coordinator Vicki Evans said in a statement.
"As you would expect we are working closely with ⁠our partners to understand the circumstances of the incident."

Police said a 400-metre cordon was in place around the base as the bomb disposal unit investigated the vans. Local residents were evacuated and armed officers were patrolling the site.

The British government, which has given authorisation to the US to use bombers based at Fairford to strike Iranian missile sites that were attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz, said Prime Minister Andy Burnham was being updated on the incident.

Britain said in July its armed forces were ready to protect the country from any attack after Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned it not to allow US bombers to fly from Fairford, saying any base used to launch attacks would be a legitimate target.

Police have not said who they believed was involved in Sunday's incident, in which residents of a nearby village were woken in the early hours and 85 homes evacuated.
