Lebanon has suffered from a civil war and a subsequent war with Israel. The latter ended with a cease fire, much like the Korean War, and technically the two countries are still at war. There are occasional skirmishes. The downtown area of Beirut, once a scene of heavy fighting, is adorned with police fortified posts. From these protected positions, the police could maintain control from a protected position and return fire when needed. These structures exist to this day and are maintained in the event they are again needed. The first picture, top left, shows a buidling riddled by gunfire. The 2nd photo shows a heavily armed Lebanese police officer. They are, in a word, everwhere. The security presence is both stifling and yet reassuring. The next 3 shots depict the various styles of fortified positions. The lower left show an armored vehicle. These are deployed all over Beirut and in the outlying areas as well. They are visible in sensitive spots. They are also amassed in numbers just off the main streets for rapid deployment. The bottom right shows a police checkpoint, complete with several reinforced positions and the customary concertina wire. This checkpoint is near the town of Baalbeck, which is the home of UNESCO ruins, as well as a Palestinian refugee camp, the latter being a Hezbollah stronghold. It is an area with tremendous potential, great people, and yet lingering regional tensions that can't seem to be resolved.
Continuing the USAF Security theme, this photo depicts two airmen on security duty at an airfiled in the early 1960's.
There's not much needed to depict the airfield security team. The basic GI Joe soldier just needs black boots and a carbine in order to look like USAF Airfield Security from the 60's. The funky Fidel Castro style hat is right-on for the early 1960's. (I had no idea how common this was for this era Air Security until I started to research it. The cap is also known as a Ridgeway cap.)
This is a very common basic uniform for USAF security personnel of the 60's.
All figures and accessories depicted here are Hasbro 40th Anniversary GI Joe figures and sets. As a bonus, these two GI Joe Soldiers are from the JC Penny Mountain Troops set, which came with black boots from factory.

I bought that wonderful ceramic bear today. He was sculpted by Finnish ceramic artist Viljo Heinonen in 1955.
Genetics is something incredible. When I was a kid I used to suck my thumb, and naturally I also had my “security blank”. Today we are struggling to have my older daughter quit sucking HER thumb!!! This is my daughter security blank. She calls it “Pulee”. Don’t know why, but she starting calling it this since she learned her first words. Unfortunately I don’t think I had a name for mine… ;-)

"Childhood Memories"
I passed by this entrance of a commercial building on California Street and saw a cardboard security guard figure behind the revolving door. I thought that was cute and frame this shot with the backlight.
"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing."

The fortress-like Security Storage Company warehouse was located on 15th Street NW, next to the old St. Augustine's Church on the west side of the block between L and M Streets. Originally built in 1890 as the storage department of the American Security and Trust Company, the building was expanded multiple times to create the hulking edifice seen on this postcard. The bank spun off the Security Storage Company as an independent business in 1906. The warehouse was demolished in 1965 to make way for an expansion of the Washington Post company's headquarters.
