I think Reid has a point.
Think about it:
Vegas has large crowds, including a rapidly-growing number of families with children.
It's an engine of commerce in the region.
It occupies a special place in the American psyche.
It's highly symbolic of the decadence and depravity of western culture.
Were I a terrorist, I'd put it on my target list just for the tourist-crowd death toll potential alone. Add to that the powerful psychological impact on the American people caused by a mass-murder in Vegas, the symbolic value of kicking the Great Satan right in its decadent nutsack, and the economic impact of the thing, and the only thing stopping me from sending in the suicide bombers tomorrow would be the assumption that its value as a target is so obvious the American authorities must have take precautions already, so why bother.
So please, Dr. Guy, do us all a favor: Let Reid do whatever he thinks is necessary.
Instead, go to work on Boxer and Feinstein, who let their own state's San Diego, home of the Pacific Fleet, get little or no DHS funding at all.
