curmudgeon came to the same conclusion but as the result of an 
external force re-targeting our own nukes (who says it has to be hostile
from within?). I can see the next Die Hard - going after cyberterrorists 
that are taking over our nuke control systems remotely somehow.

2347 from USA - That makes 7228 for Kitsap county WA. I _can_ say that 
we will go in the first 3 or 4 that are launched... Small things like 
the west coast nuke subase (Bangor), Widby Island NAS, and Puget Sound 
Naval shipyard within 5 miles... Can you say extra crispy? ;-\
