However, the story about the 60k home security system is a net myth.

Clarification alert: I don't recall the price-tag, but he _did_ have a security system installed, quite a pricey one at the time. It included high, barb-wire topped fences, a video system at the gate, powered gates...

This was all before any of that was considered in any way "standard" and it cost nearly his yearly pay.

I know that it was the fact because I remember watching the committee hearings and thought his comeback on it was priceless. The "net rumor" is that he said he was protecting his family against Osama Bin Laden. But he actually said "Abu Nidal." I watched it live on C-SPAN.

That makes sense. You are the second person I know who actually watched the hearings. My brother is the other one - he was grounded for a good amount of the summer and saw all the hearings. All the liberal media was talking about impeachment and so on while the rest of the country could have cared less.
