What Are They Doing to America?

One of the main points we all need to understand about security is that the level of threat is proportional to the level of interest. If you drive a piece of crap car that leaks oil and has rust, don't bother to lock it, but if you're driving a Ferrari, don't park it in the open. Similarly, if you are a Rockefeller, hire a bodyguard, but you don't need one if you're working the day shift at Burger King. If you're storing gold bars, you might want to invest in a better alarm system than the average house.

Unless you're somebody way more important than most people I know, go ahead and assume that a box in your backyard is just a box, and not a terrorist threat.

Come on, America. Don't let the Republicans scare you so badly. Get a grip.
