Wright-Patterson AFB increases security

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base

Security lines will be longer for military and civilians who work at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton. Events at the National Museum of the United States Air Force have also been canceled. Bases across the U.S. are stepping up security measures in response to an increased threat level.Spokesman Daryl Mayer says the new measures are intended to increase unpredictability in the base's security. The Wright-Patterson security threat level has been raised from Alpha to Bravo. Alpha is the lowest level. Bravo is the next highest.

The museum is canceling Friday night's spring concert. Tours of the Presidential and Research & Development Gallery and the “Behind the Scenes” tours are also canceled until further notice.
