The concern with this property is that there are several factors that characterize the property as unsafe and creates opportunities for unauthorized activities to occur in the old , unmonitored buildings . This could create security concerns for the Air Force and Gunter Annex . The abandoned property and its structures could serve as an area for unauthorized monitoring of Gunter Annex activities and unauthorized assembly of people . Such unauthorized activities could potentially create delays for daily operations , such as concerns over threats , at Gunter Annex or create an unsafe perception for federal and state employees that work at Gunter Annex or at other government buildings in this area . If threats were to occur at the abandoned buildings , then a cease of operations could occur at Gunter and other nearby organization and businesses until the appropriate authorities investigate the threat and determine there is no immediate concern . This could result in lost hours of productivity and classroom time for people at Gunter Annex .
