Re: Plutonium Shipment

 ``Because of the input of the people of northern Michigan, we've had much
greater safety and
 security on the shipment and it arrived safely,'' Stupak said. ``Without
our objections, those extra
 safety precautions never would have take place.''


Thank god they raised a big stink about it!  Otherwise, I'm sure it would
have been put in a coffee can and bungee corded to the back of some Hells
Angel's Harley.  What a bunch of morons!  I wonder what they would say if
they knew how many SNM movements take place in the US every year.
