As if fighting terrorism weren't complicated enough, the United States has a new national security threat to worry about: grizzly bears.

Republicans on the House Natural Resources Committee say that environmental laws protecting grizzlies and other wild animals along rural portions of the U.S.-Canada border have handcuffed U.S. Border Patrol and Department of Homeland Security agents, potentially making it easier for would-be terrorists to slip into the country.

Hmmmm... perhaps we should introduce grizzly bears to the US/Mexico border areas.

I'd think the grizzly bears would be better deterrents to any would-be terrorists trying to slip into the country than the under-manned Border patrol.
