The problem is that the U.S. government needs to appear to
be doing a lot to protect the citizens.   It's not so much the facts
as the way the average U.S. citizen thinks.   To most everyone 
I meet, the idea of a psub is a lot like the idea of having a 
rhinoceros as a pet.   The Americans you meet on this list, 
Carsten, are the brightest and the most imaginative citizens the 
U.S. has to offer.

That could be enough!

This has been discussed in some detail on another list I inhabit.
We started to worry that someone in authority might think we
were planning something!

Another question is "How much C-4 can be bought secretly
for 15,000 dollars?"   A couple of kilos of that can make a 
mess of a bus, and a carload could level a shopping mall.
That's more likely!
