Hope you aren't anywhere near Marquette. The ELF transmitters in Republic are about the only way to communicate with submersed missile subs and are first-strike targets for some heavy megatonage.
...or we could just create our own asteroid with chunks from the moon and some targeting missiles. You know... hold the world ransom for peace. It's worked for the last 50+ years. And as a plus it makes perfect moral sense. It probably won't make any of the world's nations resent us at all.
@DQuist: Blackmail only works if it's a threat that *could be carried out*.Putting any weapon like that into use in the name of "world peace" would be self-defeating.Helps if there's a world left afterwards.
You know, I don't really give a s**t about what the Digg voting system determines - making jokes about nuclear bombs that actually got dropped on people and killed thousands of people is in poor taste. If you don't think it is, you're an ignorant fool.

He's moving to Dallas. Crawford PD doesn't have sufficient SWAT capability to back up the Secret Service.

I don't think a terrorist would ever nuke a US city. They are smarter than that. They don't want mecca to turn into a big crater.
