Security tightens around shah at Texas bases amid protest fears
At Kelly and Lackland Air Force Bases near San Antonio, guards and barbed wire were deployed after intelligence indicated hundreds of Iranians may come to demonstrate against the shah stay. About 500 were reportedly en route, though only five protesters appeared, and demonstrations were banned due to potential clashes with Ku Klux Klan counterprotests. Security forces could reach 2000 for riot control if needed.
