Also in the "cheery thoughts" department.... there was just a report on the 
local CBS evening news about how the Indian Point Nuclear power plant (on 
Long Island) *is* a logical and visible target, and as a result, they've 
added National Guard troops to their in-house security force.  According to 
the broadcast, the containment buildings are built to handle a plane crashing 
into them at 500mph.  

I don't find this at all comforting.  An image of Blinky the three-eyed fish 
keeps coming to mind.
