Showing his opposition to the US-led war in Iraq, Sanderson Beck of Ojai, California (CA), voluntarily crossed the official boundary line to Vandenberg Air Force Base (AFB), CA. Before being taken into custody, he is given a two-minute warning by US Air Force (USAF) Captain (CAPT) Paul Quigley (left), 30th Security Forces Operations (SFO) Officer, to evacuate the base's property marked by a painted green line on the street approaching the entrance to the base. Ignoring the warning, Beck, who announced that he was running for President in an effort to "disarm the US", claimed that there would be a non-violent revolution in the country if the war wasn't stopped
