Department of Homeland Security wisdom
From the Department of Useful Lists at Infosec comes a short anecdote originating in Washington State, where 64 national monuments and icons are listed as being potential targets to be blown up by terrorists. Bear in mind that pre-9/11, there were only 60 items on the list for the whole nation.
The teller of the story, Dr J Philip Evans of the University of Westminster, informs me that there is only one national monument in Washington State. Care to take a guess? That's right, Mount Saint Helens, which blows itself up anyway. Go figure.
