Ah, but there were

Perhaps you missed my post A Walk on the 'Blind Side' - Pt II, which included this:

..Judge went further down this path in describing a march he organized in the late-1990s. The march, "A Day Without The Pentagon," was to end at the Pentagon, and Judge had to negotiate the physical movements of the marchers with, among others, Pentagon security. Judge was shown the absolute limit the marchers would be allowed to go to, explaining that the building was on "Delta Alert," the highest state of alert due to the constant threat of attack, especially by airplanes being flown into the building. Security explained that the threat was so serious the marchers' own safety required they be kept at a specific point on the grounds. Judge observed radar installed on the Pentagon roof, as well as anti-aircraft batteries on the grounds.

(my emphasis-which differs slightly from my original post)

Reference for the above paragraph here.

You'd think they'd probably be able to find a few Stingers layin' around too.

And if there weren't SAM sites ringing the Pentagon, I would be astonished.
