It is only a matter of time before terrorists strike again here in the United States. That is the warning from many homeland security experts. But a News 4 Trouble Shooters investigation uncovers millions of dollars in equipment used in the fight against terrorism is missing. (WOAI)

Well...I wonder where it is?

It's probably in a bunch of fire departments, police stations, community buildings, Mayor's houses on e-bay etc etc. Another example of how this massive mega-bureaucracy has stumbled over it's own feet. This thing turned into a huge slush fund for who knows? what all across the nation for every city and county clerk that could fill out an acquisition form. :ohno

On a serious note, I'm sure its perfectly secure somewhere. It was probably moved from some room to some other room and someone forgot to update the record of its location. No need to raise the terror alert level because someone forgot to write something down.
