Miniature Golf Course on Terror Target List
Posted: December 9, 2005 at 5:59 p.m.

SAN JOSE (AP) -- San Jose officials are still wondering how a  
miniature golf course landed on a federal list of the most attractive  
terrorist targets.

Local officials said Thursday they were shocked to learn that Emerald  
Hills Golfland, a three-acre theme park with two miniature golf  
courses, had been placed on a Homeland Security watch list.

"The moment we realized it was on the list, it was taken off," said  
San Jose police officer Rubens Dalaison, who handles "critical  
infrastructure assessment" for the department. "I myself took it off."

But the list remains secret, and even San Jose Congresswoman Zoe  
Lofgren, who is the ranking minority member of a House subcommittee  
on terrorism risk assessment, said she did not know whether it is  
still listed.

"We had a subcommittee hearing with department officials before  
Thanksgiving and I asked, `What's going on with the list?' and they  
couldn't answer," she said. "I do not know if Golfland is on the list  
today or not. It's so embarrassing."
