[WS:] Yup, the USG even planned mail delivery in the aftermath of the nuclear attack on the US. Lee Clarke (my former prof at Rutgers) argues that this kind of planning is a form modern magical ritual to buy peace of mind in situations which we as society cannot control or do much about, see: http://leeclarke.com/mipages/mi.html
