Re: "You ain't seen nothin yet."

Bill —

Excellent comment ... and I think you're right on target (pardon the pun) about the significance of the upcoming movie.

I think the song reference should be to Randy Bachmann (BTO and Guess Who).

imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.)

I've seen a lot of comments regarding public concerns about security at

nuclear facilities, both commercial and DOE. However, I have not yet

seen anything about the coming, summer blockbuster movie, "The Sum of

All Fears."

Tom Clancy fans who've read the book will remember the scenario: An

Israeli plane carrying a nuclear weapon is shot down over Arab

territory. Terrorists recover the damaged but unexploded weapon, remake

it as a suitcase weapon, and bring it to the U.S. I won't spoil the

suspense for those of you who haven't yet read the book, but I predict

that the movie will be to this decade what "The China Syndrome" was to

the 1970's. It may be worse, since Tom Clancy is a conservative,

pro-military type.

We should all be thinking of how to respond.

The opinions expressed are strictly mine.

It's not about dose, it's about trust.

David Bowie rules.
