You have any idea how many guns and how much ammo is in Idaho? In this town of about 53,000 (hardly a "hidey-hole," being the fourth-largest city in the state [the Boise area has the top 3], a major rail connection and sitting at the junction of two Interstates with an airport that can handle 747s) the estimate is 4.7 firearms per PERSON. The FBI center here is, of course, training agents for deployment around the West, especially in Seattle, Portland, SF and LA, but that's all been in the local paper and the local TV stations, so we know their tactics and weaponry. No trouble here is expected because Idaho, as I'm sure you're aware, is a "Red State" and indeed is as scarlet as Utah. And the closest Halliburton buildings are at the old Minidoka internment camp, where the on-site managers say we can expect up to 25,000 tourists to come visiting from NYC sometime in the next few months -- they'll be taking a vacation on a genuine Idaho cattle farm, learning how farmers and ranchers work.

Oh, in the words of the immortal Foghorn Leghorn, "Go away, boy, ya bother me."
