TERRORISM: Dirty bomb test 'caught US police napping'

Given the recent heightened level of security, I find this news article to be somewhat worrying. If those responsible for our security can screw up so badly, what hope is there for the country

US police officers failed to spot what could have been a dirty bomb planted in the heart of Washington, a report by government investigators has alleged ... police were busy chatting rather than patrolling the area and one officer positioned in an unmarked car appeared to be asleep.

It makes you wonder what will happen when some terrorist bastard gets his hands on a real dirty nuke. Where will the cops be ? - either sleeping or in the donut shop.
