You really should delete your reference to the WOT as a job loss category. The WOT creates jobs. Homeland Security, all the flipping consultants who are now Homeland Security experts and sucking up all the Federal Funds. Additional airport security personnel. All new jobs! Even turn your attention to the mundane. Duct tape and HEPA filters. That little prompt from Tom Ridge to get duct tape and plastic sheeting to protect against bioterror pumped the major manufacturer for duct tape up to a 24/7 operation. I'm sure it's tailed off by now. There's only so much duct tape you can store in the closet. I'm sure Ridge helped out the HEPA filter sector some, and HEPA filters are more expensive thn duct tape of course. It's a suggestion that you should take out the reference, but it does sound good. Maybe you should leave it in. Out of curiousity. How much duct tape and plastic sheeting do you have? jttmab
