"The federal Department of Homeland Security gave {Keith County, NE] 
$42,000 to buy state-of-the-art dive gear, including full-face masks, 
underwater 
lights and radios, and a Zodiac boat with side-scan sonar capable of mapping 
wide 
areas of the [recreational] lake floor."

"Up on the lonely prairie, Cherry County, population 6,148, got thousands of 
federal dollars for cattle nose leads, halters and electric prods — in case 
terrorists 
decided to mount biological warfare against cows."

“So if your chance of being killed by a terrorist in the United States is 1 in 
3.5 
million, the question is, how much do you want to spend to get that down to 1 
in 
4.5 million?”

The answer seems to be $75 Billion.
