Forget plastic and duct tape, our safety lies in a pork barrel ...

Dillingham is a quiet fishing village in Southwest Alaska, home to 2,400 people and not a single streetlight.
What it does have, however, is 80 surveillance cameras, focused on the port and the town, courtesy of a $202,000 Homeland Security federal grant.
Dillingham Police Chief Richard Thompson said the cameras could stop terrorism in Southwest Alaska someday. More to the point, they may also put an end to the drinking, deaths and drug deals.
“There are no jihadist sockeyes swimming into our bay, no militant moose, no bomb-bearing belugas"Obviously, like so many of Bushco's Anti-Terrerist policies, it ain't about terrorists, it's about draconian abuses of Americans' rights.
