You just don't know but I'd say the odds of terrorist attacks vis a vie transporting a device via sea or land into the USA are much better than missile attack. So then how can star wars help us? RE:"To spend billions on more defense is ludicrous imo." Kind of a broad statement. Might take some more money but the term "shoring up" is more what I'd like to see. What are the billions we spend annually used for? I had assumed "shoring up" was in part what was happening. This is insanity....we are allocating billions for defense in peacetime and you all want to spend more. However, you all would be the first to complain about new spending for new roads, schools......and voter machines. ted
