That actually happens more often than you think. The last shuttle launch was almost postponed by a day because some dude in a boat wondered into the range area. I can kind of see how this can happen around Wallops because it's not very well known, but STS-135 was a global media event announced many months in advance and still people were wondering into the range area.
