Tom Ridge is a class act. President Bush has asked Americans to reach higher, and he's recruited some amazing individuals to help his cabinet lead the way. I listened to part of this speech and I knew we were getting the very best in security (given our current budget constraints and political realities) from Tom's staff.

I have nothing but respect for Ridge. The ridicule he has received from our enemies and some of our so called friends is rather chilling in that it undermines the seriousness of our security situation.
I was particularly amazed at the laughter surrounding the duct tape and plastic sheeting suggestions.
Fact is, those two products alone can save lives, protect from shattered windows, keep the poisoned air out until the chemical/bio material dissipates, etc.
No responsible homeowner should be without these two items even in the best of times.
