What kind of special idiocy is required to call authorities about two men in camouflage with shotguns?

A pair of fowl hunters sparked a brief lockdown of a Texas nuclear weapons plant Friday, officials said.
"They were just doing what people do around here," said Carson County Sheriff Tam Terry. "They just had a lot more company than they were planning on."
The sheriff's office got a call around 7:20 am from an employee of B&W Pantex who saw two men getting out a vehicle dressed in camouflage and carrying guns a couple miles from the plant.
The men were soon found in a nearby field setting up goose decoys and a blind.
They were very cooperative and quickly provided identification showing that they were Pantex employees, Terry told AFP.
No charges will be filed in the case and it appears as though the men -- who were hunting on a day off from work -- had permission from the owner of the land to hunt there.
