I worked for a defense contractor in the early 1980s.

I think it was 1983, just after I started there, that an edict came down to "truck-proof" the building. If I remember, 1983 was when Hammas blew up the US embassy in Beirut with a truck bomb.

They put up those "anti-truck" columns in front of the doors.

Like a bollard? Or something much more substantive.

I had to look it up.

Like "double-wide" bollards. Made of concrete, in the front, and planters in the back (much bigger).
