The suitcase nuclear bomb that takes out my facility in one location
is very likely to take out my other facility in the same metro area.
And probably all the customers who would remotely care.

I don't know about the others in this thread, but the suitcase
nuclear bomb is well outside the types of things I worry about
protecting against, and in fact were one to explode I think 'lack
of internet access' would be _WAY_ down on my list of priorities.

Hopefully Sean was being a bit over the top. :)

A bomb threat is definately something to worry about, though.  I wish I 
remembered more of the details or a news article to substantiate, but what 
I do remember about a year ago was a bomb threat at the non-ghetto MAE-EAST 
facility in Vienna, VA (I remember we were all wondering why all the WCOM 
people were leaving the building).

If a bomb (threat) actually had occured, things would have definately
been unhappy.
