Here's some scary stuff:
JIM ABRAMS, Associated Press Writer
(01-21) 12:19 PST WASHINGTON (AP) --
A House committee recommended legislation Wednesday that would provide for fast special elections if a terrorist attack killed or incapacitated many House members.
The measure would require expedited elections under "extraordinary circumstances" when the speaker of the House announces that vacancies in the 435-member chamber exceed 100.
The bill, approved 18-10, stipulates that parties choose candidates within 10 days of that announcement and that state elections be held within 45 days.
The legislation has also been approved by the House Administration Committee and now goes to the full House for consideration.

Tom Ridge on TV now. Commercial for "being prepared for a terrorist attack like you would be for a hurricane".

I have never seen this commercial before. What good does it do to run it at 3 a.m.?

I keep thinking about an attack in a winterized city, especially the waters that are especially frigid

Wow, are they just slow, haven't thought about this before or do they have intel that reminded them that this could be a very big problem if God forbid something like this would happen.
