Indiana = Most Terror Targeted state in the Union

So, you remember that new DHS formula which led to NYC and DC having their terror funds slashed due to Madison Square Garden and the Statue of Liberty not being landmarks?

 

According to that same formula, Indiana is the most endangered state in the Union. Linky.

 

It reads like a tally of terrorist targets that a child might have written: Old MacDonald’s Petting Zoo, the Amish Country Popcorn factory, the Mule Day Parade, the Sweetwater Flea Market and an unspecified “Beach at End of a Street.”

 

But the inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security, in a report released Tuesday, found that the list was not child’s play: all these “unusual or out-of-place” sites “whose criticality is not readily apparent” are inexplicably included in the federal antiterrorism database.

 

The National Asset Database, as it is known, is so flawed, the inspector general found, that as of January, Indiana, with 8,591 potential terrorist targets, had 50 percent more listed sites than New York (5,687) and more than twice as many as California (3,212), ranking the state the most target-rich place in the nation.

 

 

Back home again in Indiana

And it seems that I can see

A gleaming candlelight

Still shining bright

Through the sycamores, for me

 

The new-mown hay

Sends all its fragrance

From the fields I used to roam

When I dream about the moonlight

On the Wabash

Then I long for my Indiana home

IIRC, our nation's largest stockpile of VX is located in Western Indiana.

 

NW Indiana is also home to the 3rd largest refinary capacity in the USA, one of the few LEGITIMATE targets that could actually be taken seriously.

My favorite part of the Indy 500 Pre-Race festivities, no question.
