> Oh, good. That would mean they don't need Homeland Security money-- which many states with no chance of a terrorist attack receive at the expense of NY and other cities which might actually be targets. Entreating the benevolence of god does not require subsidies.
Great point. A few years ago my own small state apparently led the US in number of official "potential terror attack targets" - one celebrated site on the list was a roller rink in a medium-seized industrial city. The local governments were quite good at getting that Homeland Security money to replace ambulances, etc.
I'm sure Billy's Skate Barn is right up there with the Statue of Liberty on Osama's hit list...
