Also re: the hoover Dam it helps to remember that the dam in in pretty desolate country. It is inroute to some busy places and you can get a good crowd looking at it and taking pictures but by no way is it an unmanageable situation. I would rather be on the lookout for a terrorist coming over the dam than one coming into New York or Washington, DC.

That alert about Niagra Nat Guard base being able to sabotage all the East Coast tanker refuelings was sobering. I foget what thread.
