I understand your response. What I find interesting is that a state like Wyoming receives so much in homeland defense funding. Reference the US House of Representatives Select Committee on Homeland Security's official website and a recent article:

hsc.house.gov...

To paraphrase:
"One obvious distortion is that California receives less than $5 per person in first responder grants, while Wyoming receives more than $35. The same result obtains in other large states, including New York. Equally unjustifiable, however, is that with rare exception the rest of the funds are allocated only according to population. While larger population concentrations may indeed be terror targets, this is a very unsophisticated approach to what should be an intelligence-driven process. Small-population farm states such as Iowa can legitimately claim attention because of their responsibilities for the nation's food supply. Regions such as Alaska and Wyoming that have few people are thick with defense assets, energy and other productive infrastructure. "

Outside of Cheyenne Mountain, what other major installations are in Wyoming? I ask because wonder if there is a correlation between the caldera, its possible role as an unintentional/intentional WMD and the level of funds for homeland security. I realize this may be off-topic here but I've truly enjoyed reading this research thread so I wanted to solicit your opinions.
