    Lets try and be a little proactive and think about all the mercury we will be seeing in our landfills and watersheds once we kill off US light bulp production in favor of the "E" friendly Communist Chineese light bulbs soon to replace the standard US bulbs.

    If our security people would look a little outside the box, they would be supporting these environmentalists. It's ironic that another article in this issue discusses medical equipment in relation to dirty bombs. The Kingston disaster released deadly radiation and toxic chemicals into the water supply and air. Think about the local coal burning power plant the next time you take your shoes off so you can board a plane. Environmentalism is homeland security. Radioactivity and chemicals kill through accumulation. Each dose brings you closer to cancer and toxic organ failure.

    We can do it, but we need more funding since we aren't able to do much of anything after Bush slashed our budget.
