There's something to be said for that last comment since those
enamored with defense stuff are a lot like porno-addicts and see
a lot more than is there.  And it takes a lot to deliver the weapon.
On the other hand, if suitcases are the delivery device, I'd wager
NYC is just fine.  However, if we were to imagine ourselves 
elsewhere in the world, as Carrol Cox was trying to do, I 
think I'd give-up long-term leases in places like Manilla, 
Jakarta, etc.  Even if one's desire was to see the Empire
Strike Out, there's still plenty of other enemies much closer
to home that would look better nuked.
