This list of the 120 cities most at risk is assinine.

Yep, along with the silly "color" alerts and the whole damned Homeland Security Dept.

Borders still unprotected, aliens still not surveilled, middle easterners still pouring in, pilots still unarmed, and while I haven't flown in a year I presume I would still be seriously searched.

but not Dearborn (southern suburb of Detroit where Ford Motor and a gazillion Arabs are located).
Even animals don't deficate where they eat

LOL BTW is "Miller's Bar" still in Dearborn?
Yes it is! I work in Dearborn and try to get into Millers once a month or so for lunch, best burger in town.

University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa has a huge mooselimb population. Fifty miles away is an Air Force base that trains 20% of all AF pilots. The only such base east of the Muddysippi River. That's right folks only five bases in the world to train the Air Force's finest.
No threat to the home of the world's largest fighter training base in New Mexico? Guess it's too close to the Chinese Intelligence Agency at Los Alamos.
I could go on with examples of the absurdity of this list but won't. I think post 2 has it right. We are all at risk and very little is being done to reduce that risk.

Well this begs the question,
Which will create more terror, an attack in a large city?
(which would create terror and fleeing survivors)
or the extermination of a small town.
(which would carry the message, NO ONE is safe!).
Not a pretty picture, but one we face.

Bah.

You can use statistics to prove anything.

Well...There's the good news.

Alright, Reno's not on the list!!! Woo hoo!!!!

There's something good about everything.

"As you will see, the list includes major government centers (Philadelphia, Miami, Sacramento..."

I think am more terrified of the risks already posed by those operating the "major government centers".

**We are all at risk and very little is being done to reduce that risk.**

Must agree here!

My first take is that it's interesting that Jacksonville, NC and Fayetteville, NC (Camp LeJeune and Fort Bragg, respectively) didn't appear on the list for North Carolina.

Nor did Durham/RTP, which would be important strategically.

Suggestions for a 72 Hour Kit

Unguarded wine cellar!? I'd be inside, self-anesthesizing.

Nothing in CT?

Or rather, more likely: "nothing in CT" would be the ~result~ of an attack on NYC, Indian Point or Millstone.
