Well, I would hope not. Every state recieved funds to spend on "homeland security." We can debate THAT issue forever. But, I am pleasantly surprised that Iowa (my state) actually chose to spend it on something useful...and something that may help those in other areas as well. Trust me, our state government rarely does anything this forward-thinking.
Look no offense to your state - but this was pork spending - facilitated by playing on people's fears of terrorisim.
